Laboratory of Anatomy and Applied Animal Phisiology - LAFA

LAFA concentrates efforts in the anatomy and physiology studies of organs and systems related to animal growth, with special attention to the formation and transfer of passive immunity, as well as molecules absorption and integrity by the enterocytes (LAFA 1). Another line of studies works with the physiology of skeletal striated muscle tissue, integrating concepts of metabolic modifiers, nutrition and animal stress in muscle growth and its impacts on meat quality (LAFA 2).
