CVM Vet-LIRN Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Program

Project Summary/Abstract As a Vet-LIRN Laboratory the Indiana ADDL will continue to participate in Vet-LIRN activities including monthly calls and laboratory testing and exercises. This includes analysis of samples submitted through this cooperative agreement in both the bacteriology and toxicology laboratories in cases of surveillance and outbreak testing. The ADDL will contribute to the surge capacity in outbreaks as requested and in accordance with State requirements. The ADDL will provide analytical data for potential regulatory use through use of standardize methods, equipment platforms, and reporting methods. The ADDL will participate in proficiency testing and method training provided by the VPO as well as implementation of standardized quality management systems. The ADDL will participate in small scale method development, method validation and matrix extension work as determined by the VPO, and will participate in the AMR project as a source laboratory.
