Veterinary Vaccine Fermentation Resources

Our Thermo Scientific Oxoid peptones are available in both animal origin and animal origin free options, offering a range of nutrient profiles, including a variety of AN/TN (Available Nitrogen /Total Nitrogen) ratios, to suit the specific needs of your process.

Boost consistency and yields in your veterinary vaccine production with an optimized peptone mix. Our guide is designed to help you navigate the selection of peptones for microbial growth, helping you achieve superior results in vaccine production. Read about and leverage the benefits of careful peptone selection, as well as key considerations specific to your process. Also included is a deep dive on our high performing peptones, including bioscreen data with growth curves against common target organisms in microbial fermentation vaccine production.

The landscape of animal health is undergoing significant changes, especially in the context of bacterial infections and vaccine development. Take a look at our latest article, Animal Health Trends & Vet Vaccines in 2025, to explore key trends in animal health, focusing on bacterial infections, the benefits of vaccination versus treatment, the role of peptones in vaccine fermentation, and how to evaluate your peptone mix for optimal efficacy.

The landscape of animal health is rapidly evolving due to increasing global food demand, concerns about zoonotic diseases, and advancements in vaccine technology. Download and print our infographic poster which captures key drivers of change and advancements in the industry.

Download this Excel-based tool for detailed information about common pathogen targets in veterinary vaccine development, as well as examples of preferred peptones for growing these organisms in fermentation applications. A comprehensive breakdown of peptone characteristics including protein source, total and formol nitrogen, typical elemental specifications, and amino acid content is also included in a separate tab to help inform your selection of peptones.
