Moredun Research Institute

The Moredun Research Institute conducts world class scientific research to improve farm animal health and welfare through the prevention and control of infectious diseases of livestock. Established by Scottish farmers in 1920, Moredun's work has always been firmly based on addressing the needs of the farming industry. Our scientists work on the understanding of diseases of agricultural relevance with emphasis on endemic and emerging disease. With greater awareness we are able to successfully develop strategies for the improved control and prevention of disease and help reduce disease prevalence and incidence locally, nationally and worldwide. Together, scientists at Moredun work towards a greater understanding of disease pathogenesis, the development of diagnostic tests and the creation of novel vaccines. Working closely with farmers and vets we strive to improve animal health and wellbeing and support sustainable agriculture.
