Animal nutrition

Fundamental and application-oriented research on animal nutrition as well as knowledge transfer; that is what the animal nutrition experts at Wageningen Livestock Research do. We offer industry, sector and governments development opportunities for applied innovations for all livestock farming sectors.

What we can do for you?

For our research, we have the Dairy Campus innovation centre at our disposal, and we collaborate a lot for applied research. Our experts are also available for more fundamental research on the individual animal. Our expertise includes:

Nutrigenomics, metabolomics and microbiome analysis
Animal nutrition in relation to environmental footprint (e.g. methane, nitrogen), biodiversity and resource efficiency
Animal nutrition to support animal health, welfare and behaviour
Feed value analysis and incorporation of by-products for a circular economy
Studies into the effectiveness and safety of animal feed additives and new feedstuffs
