software market to provide customers with integrated formulation software and
solutions on a larger scale, Cargill has acquired Format International Ltd, a
leading global feed formulation software company with more than 30 years of
experience and more than 5000 users across 93 countries, reports the PRNewswire today.

specializes in the design, authoring and marketing of recipe optimization,
ingredient allocation and food and feed formulation solutions for the animal
feed, aqua feed, pet food, human food, premix and other industries.
