The assumptions and objectives of the LNB RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTRE:

1. Development of recipes of supplementary feed mixtures, flavouring and aromatic additive mixes, mineral and vitamin preparations, medicines and paramedicines (dietary supplements) for LNB and other companies.

2. Development of new natural growth stimulators, coccidiostats, enzymes, antiseptic agents, parasitic medications (against mites, roundworms, flatworms, insects), antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal drugs.

3. Development of natural dyes, antioxidants, appetite stimulators, digestion aiding preparations, lipotropic drugs and medications protecting parenchymal organs.

4. Development of prophylactic medicines protecting against the most common diseases and symptoms.

5. Development of preparations boosting the bioavailability of nutrients, preservatives and protectors for active substances exposed to unfavourable technological factors.

6. Scientific and popular publications concerning biology, medicine and agriculture.

7. Cytological, histopathological and biochemical tests and analyses (for LNB and for outside customers).

8. Preparation of scientific reports and non-standard chemical analyses (for LNB and for outside customers).

9. Organization of scientific and educational symposia.

10. Development of solutions of technological problems for the animal feed and pharmaceutical industry.

Current research activities of the R&D include:

1. Development of colloidal bases for liquid premixes, supplementary feed mixes, therapeutic and prophylactic preparations (mineral and vitamin supplements, herbal medications);

2. Methods of stabilization and preservation of vitamins, mineral salts and
phyto-ingredients in liquid products;

3. Development of natural growth stimulators;

4. Anabolic activators for humans and animals;

5. Phytoncides and phytoncide and metalorganic complex compounds as an alternative to coccidiostats and antibiotic-based growth stimulators;

6. Antiprotozoal, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal phyto-ingredients. Isolation, stabilization and standardization methods. Pharmacological and toxicological properties. Antiparasitic drugs;

7. Pharmacological synergism and antagonistic interactions in complex preparations;

8. Natural hepatoprotective, lipotropic and antiarteriosclerotic substances;

9. Preparations for ruminants. Active substance protection methods;

10. Natural immune stimulators and immune suppressors. Autoimmune diseases, natural treatment methods;

11. Flavouring and aromatic additives.
