Agriculture

From improving crop yields and soil health to increasing animal productivity and resilience - the agriculture sector faces many challenges. The microbiome is crucial in these areas, influencing everything from plant growth and soil fertility to livestock health and feed efficiency. At Cmbio, we offer multi-omics expertise to help drive innovation and sustainability in agriculture.

Our Expertise in Agriculture and Microbiome Research

We offer a wide range of services to power your microbiome research. Whether you work on plant health, animal productivity, or environmental sustainability, our team is here to support you.

We offer fast, scalable solutions tailored to the demands of agricultural research and production, ensuring high-quality data that can deliver real-world improvements. By associating the microbiome to key performance indicators such as growth rates or disease resistance, we help you find the link that can improve agricultural outcomes.
 

De Novo Long-Read Metagenomics

 We specialize in de novo long-read metagenomics, a powerful approach for generating high-quality reference databases where existing ones are limited, such as for many animal-associated microbiomes. Long-read metagenomics sequencing allows us to create metagenomics assembled genomes (MAGs), providing information on microbial communities and their functional potential. MAG creation is especially advantageous for uncovering novel species and gene functions critical for understanding host-microbiome interactions in animal health and crop production.

Feed Supplement and Functional Feeds Support

Our services include microbial strain characterization to support the development of functional feeds. This helps you meet regulatory standards while optimizing the microbiome’s role in enhancing animal health, growth rates, and feed efficiency. We also offer strain tracking and engraftment analysis for probiotic trials.

Pathogen Detection and AMR Surveillance

We offer cost- and time-effective pathogen detection, including antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance and microbial source tracking, ensuring safe production systems for livestock and crops. Monitor potential health threats helps you maintain compliance with safety standards.

Metabolomics for Bioactive Compound Discovery

Our metabolomics panels allow you to identify bioactive compounds linked to animal health and productivity. By discovering beneficial metabolites, such as those that modulate gut health or boost immune function, you can improve the performance of livestock and crops.

Sustainability through Microbiome and Metabolome Analysis

We support sustainability efforts in agriculture by providing microbiome and metabolome analysis, particularly focused on methanogens in livestock. Understanding the microbial communities involved in methane production allows you to develop strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving feed efficiency while minimizing the environmental impact of animal production.
