Ever wonder where samples go after your veterinarian collects them from your animal? You are
invited to see what is involved in testing diagnostic samples that you or your veterinarian send to the lab. Get a behind-the-scenes look at what happens between the time samples are taken and when you get the results. Producers will gain knowledge of services offered by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, as well as a brief overview of diseases affecting sheep and goats. Learn what samples are required for diagnostic testing. The meeting will conclude with a tour of the Wytheville VDACS laboratory, which is one of only thirty-five Level 1 National Animal Laboratory Health Network-Certified laboratories across the US.
