Wageningen UR Livestock Research

Wageningen UR Livestock Research is part of Wageningen University & Research centre. It develops knowledge for a sustainable and profitable livestock sector, translates this into practice-oriented solutions and innovations, and ensures that this knowledge is disseminated. Together with our clients, and on the basis of practical experience, we integrate our scientific know-how in the areas of livestock systems and of the nutrition, genetics, welfare and environmental impact of farm animals to produce livestock concepts for the 21st century.

Wageningen UR Livestock Research has advanced research facilities in Lelystad and nine experimental farms throughout the Netherlands. Together with the Central Veterinary Institute and the Wageningen University Department of Animal Sciences, Wageningen UR Livestock Research is part of the Animal Sciences Group of Wageningen UR.

Livestock Research is one of the founding organizations of KTC De Marke and the leading participant of the Dutch ‘Cows & Opportunities’ project.
