Endocrinology Services
Morfeld Research & Conservation, LLC provides specialized endocrinology testing to support wildlife conservation, zoological management, and applied research. Our laboratory offers validated hormone analyses across a wide range of species and sample types, delivering reliable data to inform reproductive health, stress physiology, and overall endocrine function.
Why monitor hormones?Â
Monitoring hormones allows us to evaluate overall health and guide management decisions that support long-term wellbeing. Hormone patterns can reveal early signs of physiological change, stress, or disease—often before outward symptoms appear—allowing for proactive, evidence-based care!
Pregnancy Confirmation Using Progesterone
Ovulation Prediction for Breeding or Non-invasive Birth Control
Track Stress Patterns Using Cortisol
Track Musth Patterns in Elephants Using Testosterone
How it works
Every project begins with a customized plan tailored to the species and the specific hormone questions being addressed.
Once the plan is in place, animal care teams collect samples on-site and ship them to our laboratory following provided guidelines.Â
Results are typically delivered within two weeks of sample delivery in a clear, non-technical report designed for practical decision-making. All results and reports are also securely uploaded to our password-protected client portal, allowing clients to view, track, and compare data over time in one convenient location.
