Animal welfare above all

Research on animals at FSAA aims to improve the productivity of livestock as well as the value of their products while ensuring their health and wellbeing. Animal production with a high genetic value, superior quality foods, as well as livestock production practices are at the heart of research that can only be conducted by taking a multidisciplinary approach. To do so, tools for chemical, microbiological, genomic, proteomic, epigenetic and phenomic analysis must be used. Studies on the ethical and regulatory implications raised by spectacular scientific advancements in the fields of agriculture and diet are also topics of concern for FSAA researchers.

  • "Meat and meat products are the foods that are at blame the most for food toxi-infections and I am convinced that my research on food safety for animal products has an impact on public health. We work with everyone from producers, to meat packers, to processors to ensure food is safe from the farm to the table."
