This paper presents the activity carried out by SNiBA over the last ten years and groups its main projects in three categories: a) nutrition and management of monogastric animals; b) nutrition and management of cattle; and c) animal welfare. In the conclusions, the future perspectives of research in this area of knowledge are briefly presented.
