AR VDL FOODBORNE ILLNESS CHARACTERIZATION OF DOMESTICATED ANIMAL SPECIMENS

项目摘要 概述 阿肯色州畜牧业和家禽委员会兽医诊断实验室（ALPC-VDL）是一个 27人，全方位服务的兽医实验室位于小石城市中心。其范围 认证符合ISO 17025标准，是该州唯一的NAHLN实验室。 我们的认证状态可以通过A2 LA网页进行验证。实验室围绕 兽医病理学服务部门专门负责尸检，组织病理学， 免疫组织化学、病毒学、微生物学、临床病理学、血清学和毒理学。 每年处理大约20 000个诊断病例，另外还有28 000个EIA病例 再加上5000个NPIP病例。 实验室的核心竞争力是大型动物尸检服务。一个片刻的反思将 表明典型的实验室标本可以连夜运送到全国任何实验室; 然而，这种情况并不适用于牲畜尸体。这就意味着，这位兽医-- LIRN声明希望增强CVM表征动物诊断标本的能力， 找不到比ALPC-VDL更有能力的合作伙伴。

Project Summary Overview The Arkansas Livestock & Poultry Commission Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (ALPC-VDL) is a 27-person, full-service veterinary lab centrally located in the city of Little Rock. Its scope of accreditation conforms to the ISO 17025 standard, and it is the only NAHLN laboratory in the state. Our accreditation status may be verified via the A2LA web page. The laboratory is organized around the veterinary pathology service with sections devoted to necropsy, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, virology, microbiology, clinical pathology, serology, and toxicology. Approximately 20,000 diagnostic cases are processed each year, with an additional 28,000 EIA cases plus another 5000 NPIP cases. The core competency of the lab is the large-animal necropsy service. A moment's reflection will indicate that the typical laboratory specimen may be shipped overnight to any laboratory nationwide; however, this scenario simply does not apply to a livestock carcass. What this means is that the Vet- LIRN's stated desire to augment the CVM's capability to characterize animal diagnostic specimens will find no more competent partner than the ALPC-VDL.
