Plant and Livestock Metabolism Studies

Two scientists in protective suits work on a large tank in a greenhouse, surrounded by plants, conducting plant and livestock metabolism studies.

Pharmaron has extensive experience in conducting radiolabelled studies to investigate the nature of residues in crops and livestock. These can be closely integrated with the radiosynthesis and radiolabelling of test compounds.

Corn plants are enclosed in metal mesh cages in a field study to monitor and analyze plant metabolism in a controlled environment.

Plant and Livestock Metabolism Studies

  • Plant metabolism (OECD 501)*
  • Rotational crop metabolism (OECD 502)*
  • Livestock metabolism (OECD 503)
  • Nature of residue in food-producing animals (VICH GL46)

Plant metabolism and rotational crop studies can be performed outdoors or in a glasshouse.
