Who we are
The Animal Health Centre
(AHC) is a full-service veterinary diagnostic laboratory, located in the
Abbotsford Agriculture Centre in Abbotsford, British Columbia and funded
by the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and Lands.
The Animal Health Centre is one of only two laboratories in
Canada accredited as a full service Veterinary Diagnostic laboratory
by the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians
(AAVLD). Full accreditation demonstrates adherence to quality
control and quality assurance procedures. It provides confidence in
our users that tests are done by well qualified people using
appropriate equipment and procedures with results that are accurate
and reliable
Our mandate is to diagnose, monitor, and assist in controlling and preventing animal
disease in British Columbia. We provide a full range of fee-for-service diagnostic
testing, including Pathology, Bacteriology, Virology, and Toxicology. In addition,
laboratory staff is frequently involved in the development of new diagnostic tests and the
initiation of investigative projects to address emerging disease problems in production
animals, poultry, and fish.
The Animal Health
Monitoring Laboratory is also housed in the Abbotsford Agriculture Centre and is very
closely aligned with the AHC. It is a semi-private facility performing extensive serologic
testing procedures that complement the wide range of analyses offered at the
AHC.
