100,000 visitors at Trouw R&D centre

The aim of Lactech’s visit was to gain knowledge from the latest calf and precision nutrition research at our calf and dairy research facility in the Netherlands.

Leo den Hartog: “In the past years the number of visitors to our research facilities has spiked, among which customers, industry partners, academia and students from more than 60 countries from all continents. Our innovation and R&D activities are driven by the belief that we must bring knowledge and technology to the market, faster and more effectively. Our R&D facilities are pivotal for this, and customers recognise that. Visits to our ruminant, swine, poultry and ingredient research facilities have a significant contribution in accelerating technology transfer.”
