Broiler Health

Investigation of respiratory disease, enteric disorders, poor growth, mortality, immunosuppression, skeletal problems and production losses.

Layer & Breeder Health

Diagnostic support for egg production drops, shell abnormalities, reproductive problems, respiratory disease and flock performance issues.

Hatchery & Chick Health

Investigation of early chick mortality, poor hatchability, omphalitis, bacterial infections and vertically transmitted diseases.

Flock Mortality Investigation

Integrated postmortem, molecular, microbiological, histopathological and other laboratory investigations to determine causes of mortality.

Flock-Level Diagnostic Assessment

Poultry disease diagnosis is most effective when laboratory findings are interpreted alongside flock history, age, vaccination status, mortality pattern, production performance, clinical signs and farm management.

• Flock history and clinical problem assessment
• Respiratory disease investigation
• Enteric disease investigation
• Sudden and unexplained mortality investigation
• Growth and feed-conversion problems
• Egg production and egg-quality problems
• Hatchery and chick mortality investigation
• Bacterial culture and antimicrobial sensitivity testing

Veterinary Interpretation & Disease Investigation

VDL follows a practical diagnostic approach to help identify the most likely disease agent or contributing factor and guide appropriate veterinary investigation.

Laboratory Confirmation: PCR, culture, ELISA, microscopy, hematology, biochemistry, histopathology and other appropriate diagnostic methods.

Postmortem Investigation: Necropsy examination and targeted sample collection helps connect gross lesions with laboratory findings.

Antimicrobial Sensitivity: Bacterial isolates are evaluated through culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing to support veterinary treatment decisions.

Respiratory Disease

Tracheal, oropharyngeal, choanal or respiratory tissue are considered for molecular or microbiological investigation.

Enteric Disease

Fresh intestinal contents, intestinal tissue, fecal material or appropriate swabs are submitted depending on the suspected agent.

Systemic Disease

Tissue, organ, blood or other appropriate samples are required for PCR, culture, histopathology or hematological investigation.
