Research and technology transfer to address challenges in the swine sector
We conduct basic and applied research, as well as technology transfer, in nutrition, management, health, animal welfare, and sustainability in pig production. We offer practical and multidisciplinary solutions to the sector’s challenges, with specialized advice and comprehensive follow-up from feed manufacturing to the slaughterhouse, adapting to each producer to achieve more efficient and sustainable production.
