Animal Trial Microbiome Support for Feeding and Intervention Studies

Manufacturers (animal nutrition, feed additives, treatments)

You're running in-vivo studies to validate efficacy, support product positioning, or confirm "no negative impact." Whether microbiome response is a primary endpoint, a supportive claim, or a safety/stability check, we help you measure it correctly and report it clearly.

Advisors, CROs, and consultancies

You manage studies for clients and need a reliable microbiome component that fits existing protocols and timelines. We integrate with your study plan and deliver outputs that clients can understand and use.

In-vivo study teams (preclinical and animal model programmes)

You need consistent, comparable microbiome data across cages, rooms, facilities, or time - plus guidance on how to avoid confounders that undermine reproducibility. Biomcare supports facility profiling and monitoring setups as well as project-based studies.

Study Design Consultation

We align on your objective and decision points (go/no-go, dose selection, mechanism support, safety/neutrality). Then we define the microbiome strategy: sample types, time points, controls, metadata, and a plan that fits cleanly into your existing study workflow.

Sampling & Laboratory Analysis

We provide sampling instructions and routines designed for real facilities and farm settings. Samples are processed using robust, reproducible workflows aligned to the matrix and question (livestock and animal model sample types supported).

Data Processing & Profiling

All sequencing data is processed in-house. We deliver microbiome profiles, diversity metrics, and statistical comparisons with transparent QC - built to separate true treatment effects from facility or batch effects.

Reporting & Interpretation Support

You receive a tailored report structured around your study objectives - not a generic output. We walk you through findings and support downstream use in internal decision meetings, partner updates, product documentation, and presentations.

Baseline & longitudinal microbiome profiles

Clear characterization of community composition and shifts over time - foundation for understanding variation and intervention response.

Diversity, stability & responder analysis

Metrics that quantify whether an intervention improves resilience, increases diversity, or stabilizes the community - and whether responses differ by site/pen/cage or baseline state.

Functional microbiome insight (when relevant)

Actionable indication of functional capacity changes linked to your goals (e.g., fermentation/SCFA potential, pathogen pressure signals, stress-response capacity) - mapped to treatments and outcomes.

Facility / site / batch effect separation

Statistics designed to separate treatment effects from housing, facility, batch, litter, diet, and time effects - supporting conclusions you can stand behind.

Custom report aligned to your decision

Deliverables built to answer your study questions and your downstream use case (internal review, customer communication, partner sharing).

Expert support throughout

We engage as an extension of your team - from early design through final interpretation - so you're never left with data you can't translate into action.

Full data ownership

You own your data - always. Raw sequencing files, processed data, feature tables, figures, and protocol details are all delivered to your secure project workspace, ready for reuse and documentation.

Feed additive trial in pigs: quantify baseline differences by pen/batch and measure microbiome shifts linked to performance outcomes

Poultry intervention study: monitor stability across houses and identify whether the intervention supports diversity and reduces pathogen-associated signals

Ruminant study: evaluate whether a treatment shifts functional capacity linked to fermentation patterns (and whether effects differ by baseline state)

"No negative impact" validation: confirm that an intervention does not disrupt native community structure while delivering the intended performance outcome

Animal model programme: standardize microbiome monitoring across rooms/cages to reduce confounding variation over time
