In-House Lab

We have our own laboratory where both routine and urgent laboratory tests are performed.  These tests include:

• Electrolyte measurement
• Blood gas analysis
• Routine chemistry profiles
• Thyroid analysis
• Resting blood cortisol analysis
• Foal IgG analysis
• Complete blood counts with differentials
• Fibrinogen
• Urinalysis with sediment
• Cytology
• Bacterial and fungal cultures with antibiotic sensitivities
• Lymes disease Quiktest
• Fecal egg counts
• Fecal occult blood tests
• Sperm counts and evaluation of transported specimens for artificial insemination

The laboratory is also where frozen semen samples are stored until needed and then thawed and evaluated before use.

We outsource some laboratory tests, such as hormone assays and Coggins testing.  These samples are still processed in our laboratory (the blood must be spun and separated before shipping) and packaged for courier pick-up at the end of every day.
