High-level R&D to drive the sector forward

Our ability to innovate is built on a powerful R&D program that draws on the realities of the field.

20,000 approved raw materials for advanced nutritional expertise

Twenty years of experience in research and development have enabled us to build a robust formulation matrix dedicated to rabbits, featuring over 20,000 approved raw materials and enabling us to design feeds tailored to each physiological stage in the rabbit’s development. Our approach takes into account the variability of raw materials and the specific nutritional needs of the animals, such as the balance of digestible and indigestible fiber, differentiated energy levels for does and young rabbits, and the concept of “ideal protein”.

A leading research centre in Europe

The Mixscience Research Centre (MRC) is Europe’s first private zootechnical research center dedicated entirely to animal nutrition. This experimental facility, which includes a rabbit farm, allows our experts to carry out targeted trials in a variety of farming contexts or environments.

  • 160 female rabbits in a breeder-fattening system
  • 900 rabbits for zootechnical trials
  • 12 fattening trials per year
  • 40 individual digestibility cages

In the field with a network of partner farms

A network of 10 partner farms located across France complements this initiative. These farms vary in size and configuration (breeding and fattening), allowing us to test solutions under real-world conditions. We conduct 20 to 30 additional trials per year in areas such as nutrition, husbandry techniques, and alternative housing.

Solutions based on natural ingredients for every stage of growth

We develop nutritional solutions based on natural ingredients, specifically designed to address the health, technical, and economic challenges of rabbit farming. These solutions are intended to support every physiological stage of the animal’s life, from maternity to fattening: fertility stimulation, lactation support, digestive comfort, immune system strengthening, parasite control, and improvement of carcass quality and feed conversion ratio. These products also help reduce the use of antibiotics while ensuring the health and performance of the animals.

  • Effective management of rabbit herds
  • Improved prolificacy, reduced mortality rates and increased kit viability
  • Lactation in does
  • Feed intake in kits
  • Digestive and respiratory stability during fattening
  • Optimization of feed costs and feed efficiency
  • Carcass quality
