Research into the animal microbiome focuses on studying the microbial populations that inhabit animals, in order to determine their role in health, disease, and development. A better understanding and control of the animal microbiome will improve animal nutrition through probiotics, feed additives and customised diets.
BaseClear offers you complete animal microbiome analysis and reporting services for better insights into microbial populations and their functions. BaseClear is involved in many projects that are focused on this emerging research area to identify and characterise the microbiomes of various animal species.

In animal nutrition, feed additives are used for many different purposes – they can improve feed quality, animal health and performance, and can be added to improve the quality of food from animal...
BaseClear has developed a state-of-the-art, in-house methane metabolism pipeline to assist researchers in identifying taxa, genes and enzymes that influence methane production in livestock. The...
Primates are an order of mammals belonging to tropical regions, generally as forest dwellers, surviving in a natural habitat with a different diet and lifestyle. Relatively close contact between humans and non-human primates provides an idea and an opportunity to scientists to understand microbiome and host interactions . The microorganisms inhabiting the gut of a host animal are termed as the ‘gut microbiome’. The gut microbiome of primates can be rewired by changing their lifestyle, diet, habitat, and cohabitants among other factors.
Read the complete blogWith an international career spanning five countries, working in academia and for industry, Dr. Emma Hernandez-Sanabria brings a wide range of experience into her position as Product Manager in Animal Health and Performance. She combines knowledge about the microbiome of production animals with strong teamwork and mentoring skills to assist animal nutrition clients. Emma works in close collaboration with product managers and other stakeholders to develop products related to the microbiome of livestock. Microbial technologies offer distinctive opportunities for sustainable agriculture and livestock production. She explains: “The European Union has a major role to play in addressing global food and nutrition security. My experience in host-microbe interactions and with horticultural crops can support innovation to improve and safeguard animal health and welfare, thus promoting sustainability.”
