Animal Urine Metabolomics

Animal Urine Metabolomics Services

Urine, compared to other biological fluids such as plasma, is a noninvasive and easily accessible biological matrix for studying metabolic changes in animals. Urine contains a variety of metabolites, including those produced by the kidneys, liver, and intestines. This provides a more comprehensive and ongoing understanding of an animal's metabolic and physiological status. BioVenic offers customized animal urine metabolomics services. With our high-precision and diverse bio-detection platforms, as well as our highly adaptable sample processing systems, we assist scientific researchers worldwide in identifying biomarkers within animal metabolic networks. Our customized services enable customers to easily achieve early detection and diagnosis of diseases, explore metabolic mechanisms, and assess the impact of different nutritional systems on animal metabolic systems through the analysis of metabolites present in urine samples.

• Urine Sample Collection and Processing

High-quality animal urine sample collection and processing operations are prerequisites for obtaining accurate and reproducible metabolomic results. The possible presence of drugs, contaminants, and microorganisms in urine increases the complexity of sample preprocessing and subsequent data analysis. BioVenic offers personalized sample collection and processing services for scientific researchers who encounter challenges in this field. With our extensive experience in animal metabolomics-related projects, we can effectively optimize the collection time for urine samples, select appropriate collection containers, and implement pre-collection food control and bacteriostasis measures. The use of reagents and other factors are used to preserve sample integrity as much as possible, ensuring that the entire process is simple, fast and reproducible.

• Sample Detection and Statistics

BioVenic has established a technology platform suitable for the detection of a variety of animal metabolomics samples, and customized urine sample detection and analysis solutions according to the needs of specific scientific research projects. The advanced technology employed by our metabolomics research team enables customers to easily obtain metabolite information from samples, identify different metabolites and metabolic pathways, and thereby gain a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic status and phenotype of experimental subjects. Relying on the establishment of high-coverage metabolite databases corresponding to different detection technology systems, conducting strict data quality inspections, and manually confirming the final metabolites, we comprehensively characterize animal urine samples and deliver high-quality results to you.

• Metabolomics Analysis

The vast amount of data can reveal various biological information with the assistance of different analysis methods and data algorithms. BioVenic provides metabolomics analysis services to meet various scientific research requirements. These services include the investigation of metabolic pathways, identification of potential biomarkers, monitoring of disease-related metabolites, and comprehensive assessment of physiological status, among others.

Applications of Urine Metabolomics in Animal Metabolism-related Research

Urine has been used in animal metabolomics studies related to animal husbandry and pet diseases.

• Urine metabolomics has been used to identify various biomarkers for the early detection and diagnosis of companion animal kidney diseases, including acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. This approach also provides a scientific basis for early cancer screening and prognosis.
• Urine metabolomics also plays a guiding role in studying animal metabolic diseases, such as companion animal diabetes, and can be used to compare the effects and physiological changes of different treatments.
• In animal agriculture, researchers use urine metabolomics to understand the metabolic effects of various dietary and nutritional interventions. For example, urine samples were analyzed under different dietary nitrogen levels to assess the impact on the metabolic levels of lactating cows. It is worth noting that the collection of urine samples is more convenient and unlimited than blood and milk, and it breaks through the limitations related to animal welfare issues.
