Enabling a New Understanding of Animal Nutrition

The Calcium Sensing Receptor (CaSR) Technology

The Calcium Sensing Receptor protein serves an essential role in the molecular function of growth, nutrient absorption and development of the digestive system, osmoregulation, regulation of muscle and fat composition, olfactory sensing and biomineralization (skeletons and shells) in most living organisms.
