Aquaculture and biodiversity<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”21″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Aquaculture has developed considerably in recent years. Our group investigates the biological, productive and economic aspects required to achieve an efficient and sustainable supply of fish.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”50″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″]<\/i><\/i><\/span>[vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”29″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Animal nutrition<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”21″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Animal nutrition is the main cost of livestock farms and has important implications in productivity, animal welfare or the environment. Our research focuses on understanding and optimising animal nutrition.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”50″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″]<\/i><\/i><\/span>[vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”29″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Animal Genetics<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”21″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Genetics is a fundamental basis of animal production. In this research line we focus on the genetic analysis of meat quality characteristics, as well as other reproductive traits and the preservation of animal genetic resources.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”50″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-3 vc_col-xs-12″]<\/i><\/i><\/span>[vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”29″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Animal production systems and technologies<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”21″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]This research line focuses on developing and evaluating livestock production systems, so that they take profit of the genetic potential of animals. Our aim is to optimise resources, ensure product quality and minimise environmental impact.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”50″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1457356564603{padding-top: 64px !important;padding-bottom: 2px !important;background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1456148217813{padding-right: 5% !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”53″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our mission<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”32″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Our goal is to improve the productivity, sustainability and quality of animal production in the Valencian Community, and by extension, also at national and international level.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”41″ down=”0″]WHO WE ARE?<\/a>[vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”61″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”61″ down=”0″][vc_single_image image=”494″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”61″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1455721440864{padding-top: 120px !important;padding-bottom: 64px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4″][vc_single_image image=”374″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”36″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Facilities<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”23″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]Our Institute uses the experimental farms of the UPV (rabbits, aquaculture and small ruminants) to conduct our research. We also use pilot plants (pilot feedstuff factory, cheese factory and slaughterhouse) and other specialised laboratories. Furthermore, we have access to commercial farms due to our close relationship with the local livestock sector. Find out more about our facilities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”0″ up=”30″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
