Serology
Services rendered by the section:
Serological testing is done for a wide range of organisms and diseases, which include the following:
All samples submitted must be clearly marked with an identification number (e.g. ear tag number or animal name), if such a number exists. The correct submission forms must accompany samples and all relevant information must be filled in. Serum samples should not be haemolysed, especially when haemagglutination or CFT testing is to be done.
Milk samples
Samples must be collected in tubes and containers that are supplied by the laboratory. These tubes contain formalin as preservation fluid and no other preservation medium can be used. Arrange with the laboratory to collect tubes when needed.
Test fees
Please refer to the laboratory's latest price list, or contact the laboratory for prices of the tests you wish to have done.
