INVETUS RESEARCH FACILITIES
Invetus' research capability is supported by three main research facilities in Australia and New Zealand. Each site provides wide ranging and complementary capabilities, allowing Invetus to provide comprehensive set of veterinary and animal research services. They also provide the bases for our field trials and clinical research studies, which can be carried out throughout Australasia. (Click on the facilities below to learn more)
WONGABURRA RESEARCH CENTRE
For companion animal research; also a fully equipped animal hospital
Wongaburra Research Centre is the main companion animal facility, with purpose-built facilities to house 120 dogs and 50 cats. It is located in the Northern Rivers region of NSW, to take advantage of the supply of paralysis ticks, which are essential for conducting paralysis tick efficacy studies. The facility also offers studies with animal related insects.
ARMIDALE RESEARCH CENTRE
For production animal research, parasitology and diagnostic services
Australian production animal research is located at the Armidale Research Centre to take advantage of the facilities at the University of New England, and surrounding rural infrastructure. ARC also hosts quality assurance management, archiving and Finance and IT functions. Both pen and field studies are available, either at the University or at farms meeting Invetus’ research requirements.
The Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Medicine Authority (APVMA) is now based in Armidale, in purpose built facilities in the town centre.
CLINICAL TRIALS AND FIELD STUDIES
Invetus has significant clinical and field trial capabilities for companion animal studies through the Invetus Clinical Network, and for production animals through the Armidale Research Centre.
