Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health

Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health (Cargill ANH) is an international corporation delivering nutrition across all major species. The company is also a major supplier of fish feed to the global aquaculture industry, primarily salmonids, shrimp and tilapia, and has 18 dedicated aqua feed production facilities operating across 12 countries.

This profile covers fisheries supplying 1% or more of the total volume of marine ingredients in 2023 for Cargill’s ANH’s dedicated aqua feed mills. Fisheries supplying less than 1% of the total are not included in the list. The reported fishing gears are the gears most commonly used in these fisheries. The sustainability ratings are based on FishSource scores. Where fisheries are reported as MarinTrust Approved, these represent marine ingredients from MarinTrust certified suppliers or sustainably managed fisheries aligned to Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) with MarinTrust Chain of Custody.

Summary

Cargill ANH is committed to sustainable seafood and supports this through the production of feed for aquaculture. Responsibly sourced raw materials are a key pillar in Cargill ANH’s approach to sustainable aquaculture. We require that marine raw materials be non- IUU (illegal, unreported and unregulated), that the fish species and country of fishing area is registered, and that the fishery for the fish species is not listed in the IUCN Red Data list as critically endangered or endangered for the current year. For our salmon feeds we prefer that they come from fisheries adhering to FAO’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and we are working towards this for our other aquaculture feeds.

As well as working alongside NGOs such as the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Cargill ANH is an active supporter of industry initiatives such as the IFFO Marine Ingredients Organisation and the Global Roundtable on Marine Ingredients. We give preferential status to raw material produced according to MarinTrust and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) standards and suppliers supplying “FishSource Score” data and encourage our suppliers to work to get the certifications for their operations and fisheries.

Recognising that the sourcing of ingredients is of concern to our customers and other stakeholders, particularly so for our marine ingredients, Cargill ANH began participating in the Ocean Disclosure Project in 2017, as part of increased supply chain transparency. We encourage our suppliers to undertake sustainable development programs on their own materials and share the results with us. Cargill ANH aims to trace and follow materials, ingredients and products throughout the aquaculture supply chain.
