ADAS to discontinue poultry research in UK
As of the end of September 2007, ADAS will no longer be
involved in poultry research, however, it will continue its poultry consultancy
service. This news follows the announcement made in February that ADAS was
closing its pig research site at Terrington St Clement.
After a strategic review of its livestock R&D activity, ADAS decided to
withdraw from its poultry research site in Nottinghamshire. Under the terms of
the agreement, the poultry research unit will be sold with vacant possession
during the course of 2007.
ADAS will continue to undertake other livestock research on four
sites.
“We regret the loss of our poultry research capability, and the decision
has been taken purely on commercial grounds, due to a decline in research
throughput. However, we are consolidating our poultry strategic consultancy and
policy delivery capability, where we are experiencing a strong and increasing
demand for our expertise," said managing director Colin Speller.
