Poultry Disease Testing Services

NOTE: DISEASE SAMPLES MUST ARRIVE BY 2:30 PM FRIDAY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE RESULTS ON MONDAY.

USPS, FedEx, and UPS typically arrive by 5 pm daily. Submitting samples without submission forms and properly labeled tubes will be charged $10 and results may be delayed. Samples must be labeled and submission forms filled out clearly. We encourage all clients to include their farm or owner initials on the samples if possible when labeling their samples by tube number to avoid any and all possible confusion.

Miss the deadline? Don’t worry! Once your samples are at the lab they will be safely stored for later testing. Samples are typically stable for up to two weeks after they are drawn. The lab may reject rotten or hemolyzed samples. To help prevent sample degradation it is imperative that the sample is drawn under sanitary conditions.  

                                         Our testing prices have changed as of August 2025, with a discount on all poultry tests till October 31, 2025!
