Our main focus is to offer the meat industry new insight and knowledge in all areas, and to improve the industry’s competitive edge. We work closely together with the Norwegian Meat Information Office (Opplysningskontoret for kjøtt), thus offering a complete set of services throughout the entire value chain, – “from farm to fork”.
Animalia is involved in a wide variety of research and development projects. These projects and assignments are partly initiated and led by us, and partly initiated by the industry, other research companies or the authorities. We can act both as project owner and as co-partner in larger projects. One of our focus areas in research is to seek generic solutions to generic problems regarding legislation and precautionary measures within the meat industry.
We provide products and services within a broad range of topics. Among these are projects on how to enhance economic value in the meat and poultry industry, cost efficiency programs and quality improvements, as well as animal welfare-, food safety and quality assurance services.
