| Mission |
The core business of the Research Institute for Animal Husbandry is applied research and the dissemination of knowledge and information related to animal production. The focus is on cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, horses, rabbits and mink. Questions from clients are addressed by means of applied experimental research, system research, desk and modelling studies or customised extension activities. We do research dealing with housing, nutrition, fertilisation, watermanagement, farm economics, organic farming, product quality, grassland management, foddercrops, breeding, environment, nature management, milking, mechanisation, health and welfare for the entire livestock industry in the Netherlands and in countries with similar conditions. |
