Introducing High-Quality Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) Ferrets for Research

Unmatched Value in Biomedical Research

At SanusBio Farms, LLC, we understand the critical role that animal models play in advancing medical and biological research. Our Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) ferrets are meticulously bred and cared for to meet the stringent requirements of today's research environments.

Here's why ferrets have become indispensable in research:

Susceptibility to Human Pathogens: Ferrets naturally mimic human responses to respiratory viruses like influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other respiratory pathogens, making them an ideal model for studying infectious diseases.
Anatomical and Physiological Similarities: Their respiratory systems closely resemble that of humans, providing valuable insights into how pathogens interact with human tissues.
Behavior and Social Structure: Ferrets are social animals, which can help in studying the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases.

Healthy, human-acclimated ferrets raised in specific pathogen-free environments. ANimals are selected to meet specific research needs. Viral or antigen screening services are available before shipping.

Quality That Meets Research Demands

Our SPF ferrets are raised under the highest standards of care and health management:

Health Assurance: Sourced from a stringent breeding program, our ferrets are free from common pathogens, ensuring they are ideal for controlled research environments without the risk of confounding infections.
Regular Health Monitoring: Each ferret undergoes comprehensive health checks, including serological testing for specific pathogens, ensuring only the healthiest subjects are available for your studies.
Customized Solutions: We offer tailored services to meet specific research needs, from genetic characterization to housing conditions that mimic various environmental variables.

A diverse population of specific pathogen-free ferrets provides a broad basis for research. Closely related or inbred animals are also available to meet your research needs.
