Modélisation Systémique Appliquée aux Ruminants (MoSAR)

Laboratory presentation

MoSAR is a mixed research unit (UMR) between INRA and AgroParisTech, physically situated within AgroParisTech, Paris, with an experimental facility at Grignon (78850). It is attached to the INRA centre of Jouy-en-Josas. MoSAR came into being on the 1st January 2010, prior to this the unit was called ?Physiologie de la Nutrition et Alimentation?. The unit has a long-standing expertise in ruminant nutritional physiology and feed evaluation, applied to dairy goats, as well as in systemic modelling of animal physiology and biology. Since becoming MoSAR, the scientific objectives of the research unit have evolved to give the systemic modelling a more central role, together with a clearer focus on the characterisation of phenotypic variation in the acquisition, transformation and allocation of nutrients to different life functions.
