Solving tomorrow’s animal health issues through today’s testing
TVMDL boasts over 650 test offerings. Over our 50-plus years of service, we’ve dedicated a considerable amount of time to ensuring every test we offer is efficient, effective, and affordable. Some of our tests rely on tried-and-true gold standard methods while others incorporate the newest instrumentation and technology.
No matter the test, our goal remains the same – serve clients through superior testing services.
Quality testing at competitive prices
An accession fee of $8.50 is applied to each accession. Fees for all tests and services are carefully evaluated annually, striving to keep fees affordable while also enabling us to provide superior service to our clients. The tests and fee schedules are provided for use by TVMDL’s submitting clients. Fees charged to animal owners by veterinarians may exceed test prices shown herein, reflecting the time, expertise, and expense necessary to collect the sample, ship it in an appropriate manner, interpret results, and provide treatment advice.
Providing you results to make animal health decisions, one accession at a time
An accession is defined as samples from the same animal / herd / flock, originating from a single animal owner, submitted for the same condition, collected at the same time. This allows clients to receive bulk testing of same species (from the same owner) under one accession. Poultry submissions requesting multiples tests (e.g., AI, Mg/Ms, culture, etc.) for a single flock are counted as one accession.
Additional Policies
All samples and accompanying documentation submitted to TVMDL for testing become the property of the agency and may be tested as part of state/federal surveillance programs, utilized for research and educational purposes, and/or development of new assays. TVMDL is unable to return samples to the client unless prior arrangements are made and approved by the agency Director or designee.
