We are now officially reopened for research since our ribbon
cutting on Wednesday, January 15th.
For the event, we hosted a group of senior management, staff and
dignitaries on a tour of our new research facility, which started in our newly
renovated palatability barn. Here are
some pictures to give you a “snap shot” of the experience.
When you walk in the front door, you are greeted with our
new lab space which is over twice the size of our previous area. On the left, we have some Quick Facts about
the horse unit. Did you know we have run
over 300 tests on our high speed treadmill?
And we currently feed 570 lbs of Purina horse feed to our own horses on
the farm every day? And by the way, we are expecting 10 foals this year, but
our first due date is March 1.
This large room also neatly stores and organizes our
microscopes, centrifuge, sampling materials, weigh stations, health supplies
and more. We have so much new space, our
shelves almost look bare, but we know they will be filled in no time.
