The expectations of both producers and consumers regarding the quality and traceability of their food, as well as the industry’s need for better productivity to meet the needs of the market, has risen exponentially in the last few years.

Weatherbys Scientific has responded to this demand for testing by utilising the latest techniques and employing expert staff.

Our work in the bovine sector has grown dramatically in recent years, and we can process more than 500,000 samples a year.
