OUR RESEARCH EXPERTISE
OUR RESEARCH EXPERTISE
We have developed a wide line of tests, ranging from in vitro analyses to field trials assessing the effects of dietary interventions on large populations of animals.
Thanks to trials run under controlled conditions, it is possible to study the biological mechanisms of treatments and products that impact health, behavior, or performance, and in particular, the digestive microbiota.
Key laboratory analyses strictly adhere to reference methods in microbiology, biochemistry, parasitology, etc.
Range of tests
- Dose effect
- Kinetics
- Efficiency:
- Palatability / preference test
- Digestibility studies
- Performance evaluation test
- Behavior analyses
Parameters
- Digestive microbiota function and activity
- Metabolite concentrations
- Inflammation markers / Histology
- Culture and enumeration of parasites
- Feed efficiency
- Cardio-respiratory monitoring
- Imaging
