> STRONG INNOVATION PIPELINE

Our research relies on three pillars: fundamental research, applied research with lead users, and new product development.

Fundamental research
focuses on essential and empirical knowledge and new insights in animal nutrition. This is a multi-disciplinary science including molecular physiology, mucosal immunology and gut microbiology. For the three main animal species (poultry, pigs, cattle), we have developed strategic relationships with 12 research centres of excellence.

Co-developed research with privileged partners: At the earliest stage of our innovation process, we seek to involve lead users who possess acute market understanding. To stay attuned to and anticipate market demands, we work closely with important key customers who are at the very heart of targeted research.

Product research seeks improvement of existing products and creation of new models and products for the future of animal nutrition. Our experts strive to combine leading technological know-how with market needs, to create innovative solutions.
