Brief Description/History/Implementing Guidelines
The Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory provides services that are vital to the development of the livestock and poultry industry in region 3 and nearby provinces. It performs prompt and accurate diagnostic tests of major animal diseases that serve as basis for the therapeutic, prophylactic and eradication measures of disease outbreaks.
Our laboratory also provides tests in support to trade (local, export and import), disease surveillance, animal health, regulatory and research. Furthermore, our facilities serve as training area for Veterinary clinicians, students and professionals as well.
The laboratory was established in 1986 as an imperative component of a disease surveillance system and in the overall design of an animal health program for Central Luzon.
Goal: To provide diagnostic services necessary for the therapeutic, prophylactic and elimination of animal disease cases.
Objectives:
- Provides prompt and accurate diagnosis of major diseases of poultry, livestock and pet animals as basis for the recommendation of treatment, control and prevention of diseases.
- Performs laboratory tests in support to animal health, surveillance, regulatory and research.
- Serve as training facilities of students in terms of animal disease diagnosis.
