CAFS-Animal Nutrition Analytical Service Laboratory (ANASL)
- Published in Analytical and Research Services
The ANASL was established during the 1970’s to cater the needs of the animal science researchers and students, particularly those specializing in Animal Nutrition which includes both undergraduate and graduate students doing their theses and students in ANSC 102, 143, 270, and 271. This laboratory is also income-generating by providing services at affordable cost to the livestock industry.
