Central Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory
A central clinical diagnostic laboratory's work with animals involves essential services for veterinary medicine, public health, and biomedical research, ensuring animal welfare and the accurate diagnosis of diseases. These laboratories serve a wide range of animals, from companion and zoo animals to livestock and those used in research settings. Their primary functions include testing animal diagnostic samples for infectious agents, toxins, and other causes of disease, which supports veterinarians in their clinical diagnoses and treatment decisions.
