Overview
The Hagyard Laboratory was designed to meet the specific needs of a veterinarian caring for equine patients. Not only does it provide test results in a timely fashion, but advice on further work-ups and discussions of results are available.
The Laboratory is directed by a board-certified veterinary pathologist and operated by a staff of licensed medical technologists. They work hard to provide results as quickly as possible, depending upon the specific test requested.
To ensure the quality of the results provided, Hagyard Laboratory implements daily quality control procedures on equipment in the lab. Each assay incorporates a set of controls and standards that are compared to specific criteria. In addition, certain tests in hematology and general chemistry are challenged at regular intervals with special surveys, the results of which are evaluated by an independent referee.
All these procedures assure the client of one thing: you can trust the Hagyard Laboratory when it counts - to help save horses' lives.
