Combined Animal and Laboratory Services Facilitating your research at all biosafety levels Safeguarding human and animal health through veterinary and biomedical research Wageningen Bioveterinary Research Animal facilities Wageningen Bioveterinary Research has facilities for Laboratory facilities research in routine laboratory animals as well as farm The animal facilities are supported by extensive laboratory animals and wildlife. All animal species can be infected facilities. Pathology expertise, immunobiology assays with highly contagious pathogens up to biosafety level 3 and genome-wide screens to determine host responses as well as GMOs via various experimental or natural are available. Modern molecular biology, virology and infection routes. Animals can be housed under different bacteriology laboratories, including relevant pathogen conditions, ranging from farm to sterile. collections, form the backbone of the infectious disease An operating room is available for simple to complex research. Large numbers of samples can be processed at surgery. We aim for the highest possible level of animal the diagnostic department. Feeding studies are evaluated welfare under all circumstances. Our ethical committee with regard to intestinal tract physiology. Complex bacterial ensures that all animal experiments are evaluated populations like the gut microbiota are determined using according to Dutch laws on animal experiments. sequencing techniques and bioinformatics expertise. Several types of study can be realised at our versatile Research focus animal facility such as vaccination-challenge studies, feed We are an independent research institute and the national interventions, transmission experiments, stress, welfare reference laboratory for the statutory tasks of the and behaviour studies. Complex technical procedures like Dutch government in the field of veterinary science. fistulating intestinal tract or lymph fluid cannulas can be Research includes host-pathogen interaction, antimicrobial performed. Several animal models are available for both resistance, zoonotic infectious diseases and emerging veterinary and human purposes. vector-borne diseases.
