Background of Animal Non-targeted Metabolomics

BioVenic specializes in designing non-targeted metabolomics solutions for animal samples. Our solutions cover a wide range of biological samples, without any bias, in order to detect as many small molecule metabolites as possible. These biological samples from animals include cells, tissues, organs, or body fluids. At the same time, we employ a multi-angle analysis of bioinformatics to identify differential metabolites and perform metabolic pathway analysis. This approach allows us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the status and dynamic changes in metabolic networks within animal organisms. Our service enables us to identify the relative relationship between metabolites and physiological and pathological changes among animals. Our untargeted metabolomics experimental design is not limited to specific metabolic pathways but aims to comprehensively resolve metabolic information in animal samples.

Background of Animal Non-targeted Metabolomics

The focus of animal non-targeted metabolomics is to visualize comprehensive biochemical information about metabolism in organisms. This is achieved through simultaneous qualitative analysis of almost all metabolites under a specific physiological state or specific conditions. The goal is to find and identify differential metabolites. Compared to genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, non-targeted metabolomics offers distinct advantages in the development and validation of diagnostic markers for metabolite-related diseases, as well as in the study of metabolite-related signaling pathway mechanisms.

Applications

  • Animal Production and Reproduction

Non-targeted metabolomics can help in diagnosing and monitoring diseases in animals by analyzing changes in metabolic profiles associated with specific conditions. It aids in understanding the metabolic pathways involved in various diseases, thereby facilitating the development of new diagnostic methods and treatments.

  • Veterinary Research

Non-targeted metabolomics can be used to optimize livestock production by studying metabolic pathways related to growth, reproduction, and disease resistance, which can help in breeding programs to breed healthier and more productive livestock.

  • Animal Nutrition and Metabolism

Non-targeted metabolomics is used to study the effects of different diets and nutritional interventions on animal metabolism. By analyzing metabolic profiles, researchers can identify biomarkers of dietary intake and assess the metabolic response to specific nutrients.

  • Toxicology

Non-targeted metabolomics can be applied to assess the impact of environmental toxins or insect or animal-derived venoms on animal health. By analyzing metabolic changes, we can identify biomarkers of exposure and understand the mechanisms of toxicity.
