Elanco appoints Phil Wright to poultry team

Elanco Animal Health has appointed Phil Wright into its poultry team where he will assume the role of Key Account Manager.

"Phil’s passion for agriculture and his extensive background within the sector make him an exciting new addition to an already strong team currently consisting of Jerry Glover, Luis Canseco, Graham Rigg, Matt Evans and Thomas Tiley. The appointment is a clear indication of Elanco Animal Health’s commitment to progression and expansion within the poultry sector" the company said.

Elanco’s advances in poultry product development include Hemicell, a first in class product designed to help producers reduce the negative impact of Feed Induced Immune Response (FIIR) in broiler production. The heat tolerant active ingredient enzyme, ß-Mannanase, improves the nutritional value of poultry diets and increases their live performance.

Wright said he was "thrilled to be joining such a progressive team," adding, "I am really looking forward to adding value to Elanco’s customers, discussing Elanco’s impressive poultry portfolio with producers, and working work with innovative products that have a great impact on the industry, such as Hemicell."
