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.

Microbiological monitoring is a vital prerequisite for good research, healthy animals and safe animal handling.

At Fera Science we will work with you to develop a customised programme for your facility utilising traditional or molecular based techniques.

Our head of health monitoring can provide you with support in developing a programme that will produce relevant results whilst fitting within the constraints of your individual budgets.

Fera support staff are on hand to offer advice and technical queries.
