ADM<\/a> has announced the opening of a new research and development center dedicated to animal microbiome research at the Biop\u00f4le<\/a> life sciences campus in Lausanne. This 1,600-square-meter facility will focus on the development of biotics and fermentation-derived ingredients designed to support the health and well-being of pets, livestock, and aquaculture species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new R&D center strengthens ADM\u2019s presence in Western Switzerland, following the 2021 launch of its animal nutrition laboratory in Rolle<\/a>. While the Rolle site focuses on the development of feed additives to optimize animal performance, the new facility at Biop\u00f4le deepens the company\u2019s commitment to innovation in health and wellness through targeted microbiome research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADM\u2019s scientists will conduct pre-clinical studies to better understand the role of the gut microbiome in immune, digestive, and metabolic functions. These insights will help formulate next-generation pre-, pro-, and postbiotic solutions adapted to both companion animals and farm species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving animal wellness through microbiome innovation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to launch this state-of-the-art center, uniquely dedicated to microbiome research for pet and farm animal health and wellness,\u201d said Dr. Nuria Miquel, Senior Vice President and Chief Science Officer at ADM. \u201cIt represents a significant step forward in our purpose to advance animal wellness through science and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The global market for biotics in animal feed was valued at USD 5.2 billion in 2024 and continues to grow as demand rises for functional ingredients that improve productivity and animal health. ADM\u2019s research supports a shift away from antibiotics and toward science-based alternatives, in line with broader sustainability and welfare goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For companion animals, microbiome solutions are increasingly in demand. A recent ADM global survey found that 84% of pet owners are interested in products that support longevity and vitality in their pets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
