LABORATORY OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY FOR BIOCHEMICAL, CHEMICAL AND MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYSES

Description - Research Areas
The LABORATORY OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY was created with the main objective to provide consulting services in the applied animal production with the use of infrastructure of the individual laboratories of Infectious diseases, Microbiology, Parasitology, Nutrition, Agricultural Chemistry – Biochemistry – Meat Technology, Milk Technology and Reproduction.

The infrastructure of the above laboratories aims to support the educational and research needs on fields of Agricultural Science and specific Animal Production, as well as offering consulting services and laboratory analyses to local agro-livestock holdings of primary production, both in the fields of feed crop production, animal production and food technology. In addition, the LABORATORY OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRY with the analytical infrastructure provides chemical and microbiological analysis services for determining the polluting load of industrial farms and food industries of animal origin.
