Client Testimonials
Our Industry Partners
BiOrbic has enabled us to carry out valuable targeted research that we did not have the resources or expertise to do in house. We like the BiOrbic approach, which is very practical, rational and always done with an eye to commercial realities.
The Farm Zero C story has been a remarkable journey and the evolution of that project has been a real beacon for the dairy industry and agriculture in general.”

Our research partnership with BiOrbic and UCD continues to deepen our understanding of the environmental, nutritional and economic benefits of using Adesco-treated grain and beans in ruminant and monogastric diets. These research learnings will help us grow market demand in Ireland, and in turn, reduce the total carbon footprint of meat produced here.
Our ongoing collaboration with BiOrbic/UCD is critical to our business strategy and our vision for sustainable food production in Ireland.”
Jack O’Hare
Adesco
Working with BiOrbic has allowed Nuritas to explore and expand new areas of research that will greatly impact the growth of the company. Bioavailability of peptides in humans is still missing piece of evidence not only for claim substantiation but for better understanding of feasibility of peptide as potential drugs.
This is very valuable research that the centre has enabled us to carry out, since we did not have the resources or expertise to do in house. Through this platform we have developed new strategic relationships that will allow Nuritas to grow faster and contribute more to the pool of knowledge. We are delighted to be an industry partner as the centre aligns with our circular economy goals and sustainability values.”
