"This research alliance will help Alltech to bring further solutions to our markets and to solve real problems, benefitting society and the agriculture and food industries."
Alltech has successfully collaborated with a number of top academic institutions in the past, including 12 research alliances across the globe, in order to find sustainable solutions to the key issues facing the agricultural industry.

"Europe as a region is one of the fastest to adopt new technologies and one of the best in terms of investment in agriculture. Harper Adams University is an ideal partner for Alltech in our mission to revolutionize the agriculture industry, through novel technologies, working in synergy with the animal, while remaining safe and traceable for the consumer, without harming the environment. We are very excited to see where this research alliance will take us," said Dr. Karl Dawson, chief scientific officer at Alltech.
