Joining the AB Agri graduate programme is a great deal more than just your first job after University – it’s a golden opportunity to shape your working future with a company that’s committed to helping you achieve your potential.

Our nutritionists play a key role in researching, developing, selling and advising across our market leading product range. This extends to feed materials, feed additives, pre-mixes and compound feed including specialist products such as baby pig feed.

During your programme you will undertake a number of placements to provide you with a broad base of experience across AB Agri. As a result you will move across a number of locations. You will need a 2:1 or higher, in a subject related to animal nutrition and preferably Biology and Chemistry A Levels.
