Description
The National Research Institute of Animal Production was founded on 1 April 1950. As one of the largest scientific institutions with nationwide coverage, it implements the policy of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in the sphere of livestock production and management of the farmed environment. These activities are focused on the current and prospective needs of producing safe and high quality foods in animal- and environmentally-friendly conditions, but also on the use of farm animals for biomedical purposes.
The Institute of Animal Production has had the status of the National Research Institute since 23 November 2006.
The Institute carries out the statutory tasks assigned to it by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, specified in the regulations on the organization of breeding, reproduction of farm animals, feeds, as well as in the Regulation (EU) 2016/1012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on breeding of animals.
In the years 2016–2020, the Institute carried out the multiannual programme “Protection and management of national genetic resources of farm animals under sustainable use”, which involved the activities related to the operation of animal production and breeding systems, able to compete in the European market and based on the state-of-the-art achievements of Polish and global science in the field of animal breeding and production. The aim of the programme was to ensure biological progress in livestock breeding while preserving the rich biodiversity of animals with regard to biotechnological, technological and environmental determinants of production, with consideration of the biotechnological, technological and environmental determinants of production.
The Institute is entitled to confer degrees of Ph.D. and habilitated doctor of agricultural sciences in zootechnics and fisheries. Moreover, it cooperates with scientific centres from many countries, including The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Sweden, Norway, France, and Austria.
The National Research Institute of Animal Production obtained the highest scientific category A + (leading level) for the years 2022-2025 in the discipline of animal husbandry and fisheries.
