What Tests and Trials does

Tests and Trials S.L.U. (T&T) is a Spain-based Contract Research Organization (CRO) headquartered in Monzón, Huesca, with 16 employees, specializing in on-farm clinical and nutritional trials for livestock animal health products across pork, poultry, and ruminants. Founded circa 2000 and acquired by the Tentamus Group in July 2021, the company designs and executes trials that demonstrate the safety, effectiveness, and quality of pharmaceutical, immunological, and nutritional products for production animals, supporting clients through product registration and commercialization.

The company's product surface consists of three offerings: (1) full-scope Clinical and Nutritional Trials covering protocol design through final report, (2) expert Data Analysis and Biostatistics Services applying statistical methods to industrial and production data, and (3) Síagro, a proprietary statistical software platform providing SPC, control charts, A/B testing, regression, logistic regression, survival analysis, and time series analysis, positioned for non-programmers and marketed as cross-industry applicable. The technology backbone is therefore classical statistics and process control rather than AI/ML, with Síagro representing the only proprietary software asset.

Tests and Trials operates on a sales-led B2B model, targeting pharmaceutical, immunological, and nutritional product companies in livestock, plus animal production operations requiring statistical consulting. Revenue mechanics are quote-based professional services plus Síagro software licensing, with multi-year contracts and pricing determined per project scope. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement, supplemented by content marketing via the company blog and placements in industry journals (Suis, AviNews, PorciNews), a newsletter, a dedicated Síagro microsite, and conference presence at events such as AVPA and CCDE. Academic collaborations with Universitat de Lleida and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos reinforce methodology credibility and feed published research.

Broad incumbents

• SGS: World's largest testing, inspection and certification company with extensive agricultural and food testing capabilities — overlapping service portfolio and target client base in animal production.
• Mérieux NutriSciences: Food and feed safety/quality testing network with strong animal nutrition portfolio — comparable broader incumbent that already serves many of the same animal nutrition sponsors Tests and Trials targets.
• Eurofins Scientific: Global testing and CRO conglomerate offering agricultural, feed, food and pharma testing services at massive scale; a broader incumbent that could subsume Tests and Trials' niche livestock CRO work.
• Charles River Laboratories: Large CRO with an established animal health/in-life studies segment; relevant as a broad incumbent demonstrating the scaled CRO model Tests and Trials could be acquired into.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC (testing, inspection, certification) player with agri-food and commodity testing lines; comparable as a broad incumbent serving animal health and feed customers.

Emerging players

• Minitab: Statistical analysis software (SPC, Six Sigma, DOE) used by quality and process-improvement teams — a competing offering to Síagro in the same buyer segment (non-programmer statisticians in operations/quality).

Others

• Trouw Nutrition (Nutreco): Global animal nutrition company running internal feed trials and research farms; comparable customer/partner for livestock on-farm trial services rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Wageningen Livestock Research: Dutch research institute running applied livestock trials in pork, poultry and ruminants, often on a contract basis for animal-health and nutrition sponsors — directly comparable in trial design, statistics and registration support.
• Schothorst Feed Research: Independent Dutch feed and animal nutrition research institute running on-farm and research farm trials for feed additive and nutritional product efficacy — directly comparable livestock CRO services with biostatistics capabilities.

Regional players

• IRTA (Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentàries): Catalan agricultural research institute running livestock (including pork and poultry) trials with biostatistics capacity — comparable regional Spanish/Catalan player in the same on-farm trial niche.
