Regulatory Disease Testing

Testing for certain regulatory diseases requires specific submission forms and submission by appropriately accredited veterinarians.   There are also certain state/federal programs in place for the testing of regulated diseases such as Brucellosis, Tuberculosis, Johne's and Poultry Diseases (Pullorum/Typhoid & Avian Influenza) under the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP).  The lab meets all USDA requirements for certification of regulatory program disease testing and is a fully authorized NPIP testing lab.

Official USDA Brucellosis submission forms must be used and submitted by a category II accredited veterinarian.  Paper forms can be obtained from NH Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food (NH DAMF)  (603) 271-2404
