"During my Ph.D. program, I worked extensively in a lab setting that worked on dog, mouse, and pig studies. I feel so fortunate that I was trained in a setting that humanely treated the animals, and I'm looking for that value in the organization I work for. I loved reading about Bayer's current animal studies and your care for the animals you test on. I can see this as an environment I would thrive in if hired!"

"As my career has been focused on crop development, I hope to continue that here. You are doing amazing work in your crop science division in creating more sustainable farms and developing crops that can adapt and survive. It would be fascinating to be a part of this here."

First and foremost, answer the question directly on your preference for working with studies related to the subjects at hand. Don't hesitate to relate your previous work to the job you are interviewing for at Bayer. Then you want to make it clear that you are interested in an organization that works with all three areas. Before your interview, read up on the studies Bayer conducts on animals and plants so you can speak knowledgeably to this when you answer.
