AHVLA Scientific offers a complete testing, advice and support service for the diagnosis, control and prevention of diseases in farm animals.

Our specialist teams perform tests under a comprehensive quality assurance system. Many of the tests are accredited to ISO 17025 and cover a range of animal species.

Customers are requested to send samples direct to the designated AHVLA testing unit, details of which can be found in the Commercial Diagnostic Tests Price List.

This will help to maintain the quality of the sample and speed of reporting. Results will usually be returned via the nearest AHVLA Regional Laboratory where interpretation and follow-up support will be available if required.
