PSU Animal Disease
Lab Renamed
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre)
Penn State’s Animal Disease
Laboratory has been renamed the
Animal Diagnostic Laboratory.
The new name does not indicate
new responsibilities but more
accurately describes the laborat
ory’s responsibilities.
The lab has always diagnosed
both diseases and production fail
ures of birds and mammals,
according to Dr. Thomas Drake,
extension veterinarian for the
laboratory. The new name better
represents the laboratory as a
resource for veterinarians, exten
sion agents, producers and others
who need questions answered
about disease and production
problems.
Drake says that poultry and
livestock—cattle, swine, sheep
and goats—make up the majority
of cases they receive. The labora
tory also works with horses, cats,
dogs and even wild animals such
as raccoons and deer.
The Penn State lab is one of
three diagnostic laboratories for
mammals and one of four labs for
birds in Pennsylvania. The other
mammal labs are in Summerdale
near Harrisburg and Kennett
Square in Chester County. The
other bird labs are in Delaware
Valley, Summerdale, and Kennett
Square.
