Biomin has recently introduced its seventh Center of Applied Animal Nutrition (CAN) with the announcement if its new facility in Tulln, Austria. The facility’s in vivo research will focus on piglet and broiler nutrition.

The facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and has the ability to perform digestibility tests, kinetics studies biomarker identification, and ex-vivo sampling for next generation sequencing analysis.

“The new facilities will help us to establish proof-of-principle and mode-of-action in the R&D of innovative feed additives. The proximity to the BIOMIN Research Center –itself embedded in a biotech hub— offers further advantages,” noted Franz Waxenecker, Biomin Director Development Department.

This is the seventh CAN facility opened by Biomin since 2005. In recent years, CANs have been introduced in Thailand, Vietnam and Brazil and Austria. Current CAN network activities span poultry, swine and aquaculture.
