“animal sanum in natura sana”

Our objective is to develop and offer products and services that will bring value to the producer in a way that respects the environment and the equilibrium of ecosystems, at the same time answering consumers’ growing demand for safe and natural food ingredients. Our products do this by revealing and optimizing the existing potential of animals in terms of health and performance.

Do you speak Latin ?

Readers who have noticed our motto may wonder why we use ancient Latin when English is the international language in this modern age of technology and global communication.
Two thousand years ago, Latin was the main language throughout the Roman Empire. The heritage of Latin is still vivid in modern English and western European languages today.

Perhaps you didn’t need a Latin language degree to understand those words that haven’t changed too much over the millennia. But, interestingly, as language has evolved, most Latin words have lost their very rich meaning which often represented the general rather than the specific, and depending on their context, could be translated in various ways.

Indeed, animal stands for “animated being” and can be taken as both “animal” and “mankind”. Natura, the ancestor of “nature”, represents Nature in its most general sense, “the universe.” Finally, the adjective sanus means both “healthy”, and also “unaltered,” and “intact”.

At Lallemand Animal Nutrition, we feel that our mission is well encapsulated by those five words:
