LAFA concentrates efforts in the anatomy and physiology studies of organs and systems related to animal growth, with special attention to the formation and transfer of passive immunity, as well as molecules absorption and integrity by the enterocytes (LAFA 1). Another line of studies works with the physiology of skeletal striated muscle tissue, integrating concepts of metabolic modifiers, nutrition and animal stress in muscle growth and its impacts on meat quality (LAFA 2).

Our mission is to contribute to increasing pruductivity in the Barzilian agribusiness. For that purpose, we offer our clients reliable information for the decision-making process. Our motto: measure to manage. We offer a wide range of bromatological analyses in food for animal nutrition to both the academic community and the agribusiness sector. We also operate in an integrated way with other Laboratories of the Animal Science Department.

The laboratory aims to conduct research, provide services, and train undergraduate and graduate students in analyses that support the understanding of immunity and metabolism in livestock.
The Beef Cattle Nutrition Laboratory (NUTRIBOV), affiliated with the Department of Animal Science at the Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP), is a research group dedicated to the field of beef cattle nutrition. Its activities are geared toward generating high-quality knowledge, focusing on production efficiency, the sustainability of livestock systems, and innovation in feed technologies.
The Animal Nutrition and Growth Laboratory is dedicated to research in animal nutrition. It seeks to characterize the growth, body composition, and nutritional requirements of beef cattle. It also collaborates on studies regarding the nutrition and metabolism of wild ruminants. The laboratory investigates models of digestion and nutrient metabolism aimed at economic optimization.
The Forage Plants Laboratory (LAPF) aims to support the development of research focused on the agronomic characterization and management of pastures and forage plants, integrating approaches from ecophysiology, plant production, and soil–plant–animal interactions.

Operational since 1998, the Forage Quality and Conservation Laboratory (QCF) primarily aims to support studies involving the characterization of roughages and other ingredients, as well as animal feed conservation processes (haymaking and ensiling).
The PENSUI Swine Research Laboratory conducts research and extension activities focused on swine nutrition and feeding. Our goal is to study and develop nutritional strategies that maximize productivity and promote sustainability in swine production.
The laboratory aims to conduct research, provide services, and train students and professionals in the fields of biotechnology and genomics.
Formerly known as the Animal Biotechnology Laboratory.
Services offered to the external community: DNA sequencing, genotyping, and gene expression services.

The goal of CT is transferring technology to technicians, employees and farmers, fostering the improvement of human resources and the intensification of dairy and beef cattle production systems.
