Through the analysis of poultry, wild, and zoo bird cases (making necropsies, attending presentations, and, if possible, during field trips); the students will acquire knowledge about diseases of poultry (Salmonellosis, ILT, IBV, Avian Influenza, etc.). Prevention and control of these diseases will be highlighted.
PRDL-MSU is an AAVLD, NAHL-accredited laboratory. It has laboratories for the diagnosis of most of the diseases of poultry: Virology, bacteriology-mycology, molecular, histopathology, and Clin path. And a fully equipped poultry necropsy area. Students will have the chance to be actively involved in poultry-avian necropsies and will shadow lab diagnostic procedures. Three ACPV diplomate veterinarians are Poultry professors interacting daily with the students. Two ACVP diplomate veterinarians support the microscopic diagnostic and include student visitors in their histo cases analysis.
Regular schedule is 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. However, for field trips and necropsy cases, this schedule could be longer. Students must be open mind related to schedule flexibility.
A non-cost room is available inside the lab facilities. Because the room is inside the lab, pets are not allowed.
