National Center of Technology Innovation for Dairy

The National Center of Technology Innovation for Dairy (NCTID) is a premier national-level research and development hub located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. Established under the leadership of the Yili Group and supported by the Chinese government, the center serves as a collaborative platform for advancing the dairy industry through biotechnology and nutritional science. Its work spans the entire dairy value chain, including dairy cattle breeding, precision nutrition, and high-end dairy product processing. NCTID focuses on solving "bottleneck" technologies such as the development of high-value dairy ingredients, probiotics, and sustainable farming practices. By integrating industrial, academic, and research resources, the center aims to enhance food safety and nutritional health on a global scale.
