The Pegase research unit has an experimental facility for milk production.

Experiments are carried out to evaluate and develop new technologies and farming practices to meet the expectations of the industry, consumers and citizens.

Experimental means are made available to Inrae scientists and external partners and can be adapted according to the needs of scientists to evaluate different production and nutritional strategies for the dairy herd, the environmental impact of livestock production and on mile quality.

The experimental dairy herds consist of Holstein cattle and Alpine goats. These species possess interesting differences in terms of lactation physiology to better understand the functioning of the mammary gland.
