Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition is part of the Specialty Products Division of Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (NYSE:CHD) and is based in Princeton, New Jersey in the United States. Church & Dwight was founded in 1846, and the company initially sold baking soda for uses in household, industrial, and specialty applications.

Since 2015, a series of acquisitions, as well as new product development, has broadened the portfolio to include technologies for pathogen control and food safety applications.
- In 2015, Church & Dwight acquired Vi-CORTM, which added yeast-based Refined Functional Carbohydrates™ to the portfolio, making livestock and poultry more resilient in battling the potential health challenges they face evert day in production systems. This acquisition was also ARM & HAMMER’S first strategic move into accessing global markets outside of the U.S.
- The acquisition of Agro BioSciences™ in 2017 further expanded the product offering to build resilience in animals by including Targeted Microbial Solutions™, which are based on proprietary strains of Bacillus to formulate customized solutions to target specific pathogens that are found present within an animal production system. These pathogens are identified via sampling and lab analysis, and the targeted solutions are validated for efficacy.
