PRODUCTION (LIVESTOCK) ANIMALS

We are extensively connected to and serve food animal agriculture through our laboratory which utilizes world class technology to provide diagnostic testing for many samples per year submitted from practicing veterinarians. Also, we provide comprehensive professional necropsy and biopsy diagnostic services. The Anatomic Pathology Service is headed by a veterinarian with a doctoral degree in pathology and who is Jamaica’s only veterinary anatomic pathologist. We see species of all types and sizes, from horses to baby chicks. Deceased animals are examined grossly and microscopically to determine the cause of death and characterize other underlying diseases. Biopsies are examined to determine the nature of the disease so that appropriate treatment can be administered.
