The story

Marshall BioResources is a commercial breeder of dogs, ferrets, and other animals for pets and scientific research. It is also known as Marshall Farms and Marshall Farms Group Ltd. Founded in 1939 by Gilman Marshall and based in North Rose, New York, the company is currently the largest ferret breeder in the United States.

Ferrets from Marshall are sold in pet shops across the United States, Canada, Japan, and other countries. Ferrets, beagles, and other animals are also used in biomedicine laboratories, particularly in the fields of viral and parasitic diseases, cardiovascular and behavioral research, and reproductive endocrinology.
