When we think of Kentucky, we don't first think of biotechnology. Rather, Kentucky is famous for its horses, basketball and the rolling hills in the Bluegrass countryside. However, Alltech is cooperating with universities and state government in this initiative known as Bio Kentucky so that the Commonwealth of Kentucky also becomes synonymous with Biotechnology.
With the opening of our state-of-the-art international headquarters here in Kentucky and the proposed Animal Nutrigenomics Center, the stage is set. The company has had a long history of collaboration with the University of Kentucky. After one year of collaboration between Alltech and the University of Kentucky's Coldstream Research Farm, no fewer than 20 abstracts and research papers have been published.
Biotechnology is undoubtedly the most exciting area of science today. It was none other than Bill Gates who commented that his bet is on biotechnology.
For 25 years, Alltech has led the biotechnology drive in the Commonwealth and will continue to do so.
