R&D
Germinal’s product performance is built on the integrity of our research and development program. The Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences (IBERS), part of Aberystwyth University in Wales, is a world renowned centre of excellence in plant breeding and an important part of our future research.
Germinal have short and long term goals to bring benefits to farmers, consumers and the wider global environment.
The world is changing placing demands on today’s livestock farmers. Consumers demand high quality products at competitive pricing, but they and governments want to see improved animal welfare, improvements to animal and human health with reductions to pollutants and emissions from a sustainable agricultural industry.
Germinal works with Government, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Innovate UK on a comprehensive programme of research projects, alongside partners such as retail supermarkets, the meat and milk levy boards, the British Grassland Society (BGS) and other research organisations.
The projects involve research into disease and pest resistance on grass and clover varieties, greater seed yields, flood prevention and drought resistance, Nitrogen and Phosphate efficiency. Also, invaluable research into improving Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acid content of meat and milk to improve production and animal health, reduce methane emissions and reduce the negative impact of animal products on human health.
