Animal Feces Metabolomics
Animal Feces Metabolomics Services
Fecal metabolomics is the scientific study of small molecule metabolites found in animal feces. The characterization of fecal metabolites has great potential for discovering non-invasive biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Many metabolites found in feces are derived from the entire body. By studying specific metabolites, researchers can focus on understanding specific life activities. Metabolites in feces have been shown to be closely associated with intestinal microorganisms, age, obesity, and host genetics. BioVenic utilizes chromatography-mass spectrometry detection methods to offer tailored metabolomics services to scientific research clients. We also develop research methods and approaches to investigate the relationships among microbial composition, animal host phenotypes, and complex genetic traits. We conduct qualitative, non-targeted detection and analysis of various metabolites in fecal samples to support scientific research projects at the experimental stage. Through non-targeted analysis of metabolites in feces, we are advancing the research phase of developing their application in disease diagnosis and tracking clinical treatment.

- Fecal Sample Preparation
Sample pretreatment before the analysis of animal feces samples greatly affects the metabolic profile, particularly for feces with diverse and complex matrices. Fecal samples are susceptible to degradation caused by environmental factors. Through practical experience gained from numerous projects, BioVenic has summarized and optimized the methods for processing stool samples used in our metabolomics customized services. This includes sample collection and storage, aseptic processing, freeze-thaw cycles, and extraction. This service enables customers to preserve metabolic small molecules to the highest degree, ensuring that the data obtained from metabolomic analysis of samples is highly credible and reproducible.
BioVenic's custom service for untargeted metabolomics of animal feces is designed to provide scientific clients with a comprehensive analysis of the metabolites present in biological samples. We offer a comprehensive analysis of metabolites found in animal feces, which includes food residues, metabolites produced by intestinal microbes, and metabolic waste. BioVenic provides bioinformatics analysis reports on these metabolites, which can enhance your research on the function and metabolism of microbial communities in feces, food processing in the intestine, nutrient absorption, and information related to intestinal health and animal diseases.
Animal Feces Metabolomics Applications
- Animal Health Monitoring
The metabolite composition in feces is closely related to the physiological health and metabolic activities of individual animals. By comparing differential metabolites in stool samples under different physiological states, researchers can develop new biomarkers and explore related metabolic mechanisms. Studies comparing the differences in fecal metabolites of horses at various stages of training offer a fundamental theoretical foundation for the overall health of horses and the enhancement of sports performance.
- Animal Disease Diagnosis
Animal feces contain hundreds of metabolites derived from all metabolic pathways of the body. By studying specific metabolites, researchers can concentrate on particular life activities and abnormal physiological states of animals to achieve disease diagnosis and treatment development.
- Animal Scientific Feeding Program Development
Animal feces samples are easier to obtain than other targets for metabolomics testing. They can be used to detect the nutritional needs and digestion conditions of farmed animals, such as livestock, poultry, or companion animals, and to develop more scientific feeding plans.
