Our Research Models

We use a range of cutting-edge research models to ensure comprehensive product evaluation, including:

In Vitro Models

Ideal for preliminary screening of feed additives, these models allow us to answer key research questions about a product’s biological activity in a controlled, lab-based environment.

Ex Vivo Models

Designed to closely mimic the physicochemical conditions of specific intestinal habitats, ex vivo models help us assess the mode-of-action and effectiveness of pre-selected products.

In Vivo Models

In vivo studies with live animals provide a final stage of product testing, ensuring products are effective and safe before reaching commercial production. This includes studies for bioavailability and host interactions in the target species.

How We Help You Succeed

Uncovering the Mode of Action

• Many feed additives operate via unknown mechanisms.
• Our research reveals how your products work, enhancing marketing strategies and product development.

Efficient Pre-screening

• Testing multiple candidates, doses, and combinations directly in animals is costly and time-intensive.
• Our in vitro and ex vivo models allow reliable prescreening before advancing to in vivo trials for poultry, swine, ruminants, and more.

Addressing Unknown Diseases

• Using cutting-edge analytical tools, we identify biomarkers and early indicators of diseases or health disorders.
• Our exploratory research paves the way for innovative solutions in livestock health management.

Regulatory Compliance

• EU regulations require studies proving product efficacy and safety.
• Our validated methods meet these standards and can adapt to evaluate various products, including feed additives, supplements, and functional ingredients.

Custom Analytical Solutions

• We design assays for specific microbes, toxins, and metabolites.
• These assays can be implemented in our labs or directly in your facilities to meet marketing or regulatory needs.
