Laboratory Testing updates
- Beginning May 12th WSVL will be adding a $50.00 charge to all out-of-state rabies submissions. All in-state testing will remain free of charge. Please contact the lab at vetrec@uwyo.edu with questions.
- We are now offering Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus (CAEV) PCR testing.
- We are now offering a Bovine Abortion Panel, a Bovine Calf Scours Panel, and a Bovine Respiratory Panel.
- Ear notches must be received by the WSVL within 72 hours of collection and be in individual,
dry 10ml red top tubes to be considered valid for testing. Ear notches received outside
of this time frame may instead be tested by the BVDV ELISA. Ear notches received in
other tube types will incur a $2.00 handling fee per ear notch. Please call the Virology
section at 766-9933 before collecting samples if you will have concerns about meeting
these requirements.
