Veterinary Investigative Laboratories

Veterinary Investigative Laboratories are specialized facilities that test and analyze animal samples to diagnose diseases, monitor outbreaks, and ensure animal health and safety. They play a crucial role in identifying pathogens like viruses and bacteria that can affect both animals and humans. These labs use advanced scientific techniques to support veterinarians, public health officials, and farmers in managing animal health, preventing disease spread, and ensuring the safety of the food supply. Their work helps protect public health by detecting and controlling infectious diseases in animals before they become widespread.
