Kowsar Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory is a leading laboratory providing diagnostic services of highest quality.
The laboratory is specialized in poultry diagnostics and performs more than 500,000 serological and bacteriological tests annually.
Since establishment in 1998, the laboratory has been a reliable and accurate reference for complete monitoring of several poultry farms and hatcheries.
The laboratory works in four different sectors: Microbiology, Serology, Molecular Biology and Feed Analysis.
The laboratory implements a strict quality assurance program by constant monitoring of media, methods, personnel, equipment, sample handling, data handling and quality control systems.
The lab also participates in ring trial proficiency testing conducted by Veterinary laboratory agency qua ...lity assurance unit in the United Kingdom.
