R+d+I

We are a leading company in the management of each production process and optimization of resources within our sector. We have the responsibility of articulating the continuous efforts of our professionals and providing them with an outlet through various research, development, and innovation projects.

Our main objective is to use our know-how to illuminate lines of research that can contribute improvements in the area of veterinary science which we carry out through CDTi projects, collaboration with universities and public hospitals.

UNIVERSITIES WITH WHICH WE COLLABORATE:

Chair "Environmental management for the sustainability of intensive pig farming" of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.
Department of Genetics, Breeding and Animal Health of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Murcia.
Department of Animal Nutrition of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Murcia.
Centre for Employment Guidance and Information at the University of Murcia.
Chair of CSR from the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Murcia.
Chair UCAM "Ucampacitas".

Our R+D+I activity is key to the application of knowledge and significant advances in quality, health, well-being, efficiency, and sustainability.

NUTRITIONAL MODELING CDTI PROJECT (2017-2019)

2019 saw the consolidation of the Nutritional modelling development project in breeding sows, which started in 2017.

Focused on research and development of new nutritional programmes in breeding sows in order to substantially increase and improve the productivity and reproductive parameters of said sows, the quality and performance of their litters and the well-being of both, in addition to providing a significant improvement in productive and reproductive efficiency.

DEMEDICALIZATION PROJECT (2019-UNDEFINED)

The main scientific-technological objective of our active research project
and the development of new, healthier nutritional diets is the development of an
innovative nutritional programme with formulations based on active ingredients and
natural supplements that avoid using preventive drugs in order to preserve the health of our pigs.

With these feeds we guarantee the correct development of our livestock, their well-being and the quality of their meat that reaches the consumer.

MYCOPLASMA VACCINE PROJECT (2017-2018)

In 2017 and 2018, our R&D team carried out research focused on evaluating the efficacy of a new vaccine to tackle diseases derived from Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in our farms in order to preserve animal welfare with the following technical objectives:

Develop a novel vaccination programme based on the new HY vaccine, focused on piglets and breeding sows.

Determine the limitations found in the administration of the new vaccine, in regard to the system traditionally used.

Define the efficacy of the administration of the new HY vaccine, with respect to a treatment group used as a control.

GENETICS PROJECT (2017-2018)

The scientific-technological objective of this project has focused on investigating the productive parameters of different genetic lines in order to determine how these might influence the quality and yield of the pigs. We want to obtain animals with a substantially improved quality as well as reduce the resources used in the production and consumption of food, in human health and in the environment.
