Technological capabilities
SNIBA has 6 areas of knowledge/expertise:
- Evaluation of ingredients and product quality.
- Efficacy and functionality of additives.
- Intestinal health and in vitro models.
- Animal welfare and productive efficiency.
- Production management and environment.
- Digitalization and precision livestock farming.
SNIBA's unique technologies with the greatest impact on the sector:
- The piglet as a human nutritional model. At SNIBA we have an experimental model with E. Coli and Salmonella in piglets intended to evaluate the efficiency and mechanisms of action of different functional ingredients for their use in animal and human food.
- Animal production modeling and data study (dairy cattle and pigs). We have mathematical simulation programs that allow the assessment of the application of several technical, environmental, and economic strategies.
- In vitro simulation model of fermentation and nutrient digestion processes.
- Technification of livestock farms (Smart farming). At SNIBA we offer technical support for the validation and interpretation of these new technologies (collection, processing and analysis of data on farms).
