VIDEO: A look behind the scenes in a diagnostic lab
Every pig, poultry and dairy producer will be familiar with it. A high mortality amongst the herd or flock – what pathogens are currently troubling me?
The laboratory Poulpharm, headquartered in Belgium, can offer answers by running diagnostic tests. The internationally operating lab offers a wide range of veterinary services, from necropsies to laboratory services as well as contract research or development and registration. Plus, the location also has a biobank full of veterinary microbial strains, bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Misset video editor Iris Hofman and Pig Progress editor Vincent ter Beek travelled to Belgium to learn more about the facility and had an insightful interview with veterinarian Maarten De Gussem.
