There are thirty-one permanent research staffs in the laboratory, including twenty doctors, twenty-one research fellows and associate researcher, three members of National Scientist of Modern Agricultural Industry Technology, and two members of Scientist of Modern Agricultural Industry Technology of Guangdong Province. And the director of the laboratory is Professor Zongyong Jiang, who is a famous expert in animal nutrition in China.

Currently, the major research areas of the laboratory include nutrient requirements and precision feeding of livestock and poultry, technology of healthy breeding of livestock and poultry, technology of anti-stress, and technology of safety and quality control of livestock and poultry products. Since "Eleventh Five-Year" plan, the laboratory has obtained twenty-one scientific and technological awards of national, provincial and ministerial level, including six 2nd-class Awards of National Science and Technology Progress and seven first-class awards of provincial and ministerial level of science and technology; the team members have published more than 400 scientific research papers in well-known academic journals, compiled eight monographs as the chief editor, and established or revised the state standard, industrial standards or group standards of nutrient requirements for pigs, yellow-feathered chickens, and egg-laying ducks in China, as the presider and participant; and the laboratory has hosted seventeen State and Guangdong provincial key and new products, and new and high-technology products. The laboratory also cooperates with medium or large-scale feed and breeding enterprises, such as Boen, Wen's Group, and Shenzhen Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industry, and so on, in a model of Industry-Academic-Research, which contributes to a high-quality development of China’s animal husbandry.

The laboratory covers an area of 12948 square meters, involving 2160 square meters of the core experimental area and 10788 square meters of animal experimental base. There are 150 sets of well-equipped advanced equipment, with the total value of 16.64 million yuan. And 41 sets of equipment above 100,000 yuan, such as flow cytometry, high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), laser confocal scanning microscope, Zeiss Micro Laser cutting system, and Automatic oxygen bomb calorimeter, etc. In addition, the laboratory established six technology platforms, including cell biology, genomics, proteomics, metabonomics, and bioinformatics in the core experimental area. Besides, the laboratory owns six buildings for pigs breeding, six buildings for broiler breeding, controlled environmental metabolic chamber, standardized slaughtering house, and feed middle stage test workshop, etc. These scientific research facilities and equipment in our laboratory meet the needs of scientific research, and all are openness and sharing. In addition, our instruments and equipment have been joined the sharing network of large-scale scientific instruments and equipment cooperation in Guangzhou area, and the sharing platform of South China Agricultural Innovation Center. Since 2012, the equipment in our laboratory has been open to the outside world for a total of 7246 hours, provided technical services for more than 160 times, and detected 6307 variables.
