Large Animal Facility

The University of Cambridge’s Large Animal facility is used to study animal physiology and poultry genetics. The facility can house small and large ruminants, poultry, swine, and equines.

Current research focuses on foetal and placental physiology, hypoxia and development, the origins of heart disease, cartilage or bone damage, repair, replacement, and regeneration, ischaemia reperfusion injury, control of viruses, and the mechanisms and later life consequences of intrauterine programming.
