Working from evidence-based facts, everything that we do as an agricultural supply chain is derived from our research and development findings.We are committed to making continuous improvements throughout the agricultural and food industries, helping farmers through past, current and future industry challenges, driving new ways of doing business.
Through our century of experience, modern trial findings and knowledgeable team, we have become experts in the animal lifecycle, passionate for excellent livestock welfare and efficiencies of scale.
From livestock birthplace to processing, we look to innovate and develop farming processes, products and systems, ensuring our focus remains on outstanding animal welfare and regenerating the environment around us.
As the connecting link between farmer and consumer, we are open to hearing of new research-driven opportunities. In the past, work in this area has come in many formats, such as on-farm support and collaborative trials, however our Development Farm, acquired in 2019, offers vast opportunity for research and development, on-farm trials and extensive education and demonstration.
Working with some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies at our trial farm, Long Lane Development Farm is the UK’s largest commercially run trials and research platform specifically focused on calf rearing.
More recently, investment into new product development has seen the innovative design of the High Health Units brought to life. This innovative design of flexible and free-standing calf housing was designed with improved farm animal welfare in mind to create the ultimate environment for the young calf. It is, therefore, also ideal for alleviating space restrictions during TB breakdowns on dairy farms, owing to the simple connection of prefabricated modules and quick erection element.
High Health UnitsWe are committed to tackling industry wide issues to drive the cattle industry forwards. With continuous investment and development into state-of-the-art facilities and R&D, our learnings are fully utilised within both the Buitelaar Supply Chain and wider industry, benefitting the lives of farming families, communities and their livestock.
We are proud of the recognition we have received for our commitment to the highest possible welfare standards in our supply chain which aids our goal of delivering a top-quality finished product to our customers.
