Delivering world class science for our partners, for the future.
We understand that the development of an effective health monitoring strategy and testing process is highly complex.
Therefore, at Fera Science we have combined the knowledge of our industry leading experts to offer a comprehensive health monitoring service for the detection of rodent pathogens in animals, environmental samples and biologicals, underpinned with consultancy and practical support.
Building on our established expertise, we offer routine and quarantine health surveillance to help you identify potential health threats to your facility using either sentinels or non-invasive sampling in your facility.
