Job Purpose and Impact

The Poultry Nutritionist should have technical expertise and science-driven insights to design, evaluate, and optimize poultry feed formulations. In this role, you will support raw material selection, feed program design, and diet modifications to improve bird performance, health, feed efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. You will also provide analytical and advisory services to R&D, production, and commercial teams on key poultry nutritional considerations. You should be able to learn and adopt Cargill’s nutrition system and apply it in your feed formulations for precise nutrition.

Key Accountabilities

• Provide technical support and feed formulations to poultry producers and feed mills for precise nutrition, feeding programs (broilers, layers, breeders), and performance optimization.
• Formulate and optimize poultry feed formulation based on raw material quality, nutrient specifications, cost targets, and production goals.
• Monitor and evaluate feed quality, ingredient variability, and nutritional consistency to ensure feed meet required nutrient specifications and bird performance standards.
• Analyse performance data (FCR, body weight gain, egg production, mortality, etc.) and recommend nutritional interventions to address production challenges.
• Maintain and update nutritional databases (ingredients, feed formulations, nutrient matrices) using laboratory data and industry benchmarks.
• Collaborate with Cargill’s Global Nutrition experts and commercial teams to incorporate market trends, ingredient availability, and cost optimization strategies.
• Conduct trials at Cargill’s Technology Application Centre and support field trials to validate feed formulations, additives, and nutritional strategies and create scientific trial reports.
• Independently solve moderately complex nutritional and production issues, escalating more complex concerns to global experts when required.
• Deliver technical presentations, training sessions, and documentation to internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Other duties as assigned.
