Our Research & Development services support the design, testing and refinement of feed products across a wide range of species and applications. We work with commercial partners, universities and organisations to develop trial diets, evaluate product performance and generate reliable, practical results.
We offer a flexible and controlled approach to trial work, with the ability to design bespoke formulations or manufacture to existing specifications. Ingredients can be sourced to precise requirements, including standard and non-standard materials, with options for batch bonding and pre-trial laboratory analysis where required. This ensures consistency and traceability throughout the development process.
All trial diets are manufactured in-house using dedicated equipment, allowing for a high level of accuracy and control. Our facilities are designed to handle a wide range of batch sizes, from small-scale trials through to larger production runs, while maintaining full treatment integrity. Diets can be produced for nutritional evaluation, product testing and disease challenge work, with additional supplementation or nutrient balancing carried out as needed.
We work across a broad range of species including poultry, pigs, ruminants and game, supporting everything from early-stage product development through to advanced trial programmes. Our approach is highly adaptable, with each project tailored to meet specific trial objectives, timelines and handling requirements.
Post-production processes, including the addition of liquids and powders, are carried out on-site to maintain accuracy and consistency. We also offer flexible packaging options and can coordinate delivery using our own transport or trusted hauliers, ensuring product integrity is maintained from manufacture through to use.
Every project is different, and we pride ourselves on being flexible and responsive to customer requirements. From initial discussion and trial design through to manufacture and delivery, we provide a complete, end-to-end R&D service.
