| Description |
Postmortem examination of the animal to detect disease at a macroscopic level. Histological (microscopic) evaluation is charged separately and is generally necessary to identify the cause of disease/death. For all carcass submissions, deliver to the lab within 3 days of the animal's death. The necropsy price is for: 1 to 3 birds submitted at the same time for necropsy (with pooling). There is an extra cost for each additional bird submitted; the birds are sick or die approximately during the same time frame; must be from the same flock/group and the same species (e.g. chickens, ducks, parrots). Turnaround Time Information: For necropsies, a gross report will typically be made available within two business days after the necropsy is performed. Histopathology reports are typically published within two weeks following the gross report. In some cases, final results may include additional testing that can take between 3-5 weeks depending on the complexity of the case and the type of testing performed. |
