Sarena Lin, who, up to recently, oversaw Cargill's global animal feed and nutrition business, has moved to Elanco Animal Health, a division of Eli Lilly and Company.
Dutch feed group, ForFarmers, said it is not ruling out further acquisitions in the UK, following the recently announced rebranding of its operations in that market.
Dutch feed firm, ForFarmers, saw a dip in profits in 2013 due to adverse currency effects, higher volatility in commodity prices and lower profit margins in Belgium and Germany.
