Applied Research & Global Validation

Global Validation

Trouw Nutrition Canada is proud to be a part of the global network of applied research and validation farms. The Trouw Nutrition Global Validation team is a dedicated group of diverse scientists located in Asia, Europe, Canada, USA and Latin America, who coordinate the local validation of our research initiatives with external and independent collaborators.

Global validation farm network

In addition to receiving academic validation for our innovations, Trouw Nutrition’s team has been developing a global validation farm network for all animal species. Commercial farms are identified and transformed into practical research facilities. We have made a significant investment in adapting these farms and equipment used to execute top-notch research trials with high-quality R&D protocols and statistically sound designs.

Studies from the validation farms provide real-life proof of the consistent efficacy and real value preposition of our innovations. The aim is to close the gap between scientific knowledge and on-farm practices. Explore some of the validation farms found on this page.

Science-based, value-added programs

In an effort to continue to innovate as well as ensure the quality of our nutritional solutions, our validation team conducts more than 80 scientific studies annually in collaboration with over 100 leading universities, institutes, opinion leaders and key customers in their respective regions and countries. 

The results we obtained generate scientific evidence that is used to further review and substantiate our innovative products, programmes and services under local conditions for:

• Efficacy
• Mode of action
• Key claims
• Cost effectiveness
• Value proposition

The benefits of our extensive global, local and practical research translate to providing science-based, value-added new concepts and existing programs to customers involved in raising bovine, poultry, swine, equine, ruminant, and companion animals.

Validation Farms, worldwide

The R&D team extends their research support network with commercial validation farms at multiple locations worldwide. Designed to test and apply scientific knowledge to on-farm practices, each facility represents the designated region and is adapted to conduct controlled research trials. This approach ensures practical implementation, reduces trial costs and supports local Trouw Nutrition businesses.
