Experts meeting on animal microbiome analysis

We are on the verge of understanding the role of animal microbiome in animal health, nutrition, research, and even in solutions for greener agriculture. Veterinary researchers, feed manufacturers, animal breeders, and animal pharmaceutical companies are therefore looking for ways to characterise, if not alter, the animal microbiome for wide range of applications. As a part of our mission in accelerating the understanding and use of microorganisms for a more sustainable, safer and healthier future, one of our goals at BaseClear is to become a leading partner in animal microbiome research.

For this we routinely organise expert meetings wherein scientists and researchers meet, share and discuss microbiome projects, challenges and opportunities. On Thursday November 28th, we are once again organising an 1-day expert-meeting titled:
