Climate controlled production animal studies

In vivo assessment of production animal responses to increased ambient temperature.

Using our state-of-the-art production animal climate chambers for pigs, poultry or small ruminants we can conduct studies examining:

Comprehensive measurements of physiological and metabolic responses in animals
The impact of different diets or supplements on animal growth, production and health
Individual animal feed and water intake.
