Scientific findings combined with in-house investigations in close cooperation with clinicians revealed viral etiologies regarding several pathologies. Consequently, we updated our diagnostic portfolio to further contribute to animal welfare. Newly established avian, pet animal, swine and horse diagnostic services are now available. Please do not hesitate to contact us for specific zoo animal related diagnostics.
