Thanks Wh.
In ouer fate remebering of persons and events are a major issu!

Fascinating stuff. I'm Buddhist so ancestor remembrance is part and parcel of the faith. I love learning about how other faiths remember their dead.

Mine get turkey starter, and they free range, but I still won't see 12 pound drakes until they're over 6 months, maybe even over 8 months.

I don't know what guy said his grow that fast. I just know that he made me want to keep my ducks even if they do end up being Muscovy instead of Pekin.

Lab Locations

CAHFS is a livestock and avian diagnostic laboratory, not a small animal laboratory. Questions concerning dogs, cats, snakes, and fish should be directed to your local veterinarian.
The CAHFS Toxicology Section may be contacted regarding any poisoning cases in all animal species at this number: (530) 752-6322.
Each laboratory in the CAHFS System performs specific tests. If the CAHFS Lab nearest your location does not perform the test(s) needed for your submission, the specimen may be forwarded to the lab in the CAHFS System that does perform the test.
Business Hours: Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM
Emergencies only on Saturday and Sunday.

Davis Laboratory

The Davis facility consists of two laboratory buildings: The John E. Thurman, Jr. Building, and the Kenneth L. Maddy building. Davis is staffed and equipped to provide the full range of diagnostic procedures in the disciplines of pathology, bacteriology, mycology, serology, avian virology, mammalian virology and toxicology for all species of livestock including poultry. It also houses the Equine Analytical Chemistry laboratory, which is staffed and equipped to provide equine drug testing.
The Davis laboratory also conducts tests on specimens forwarded from the other four laboratories, which have not been staffed and equipped to perform them. As the central laboratory of the CAHFS, it provides professional support and supervision of tests and procedures to be used throughout the CAHFS. Discipline specialists at Davis, working with diagnosticians at the other laboratories, develop standard protocols and provide standardized reagents for use in the CAHFS. They also have supervisory responsibility over activities of their specialty, including both monitoring of testing procedures and the training of personnel in the use of such procedures at the other laboratories.
The Davis Laboratory accepts AVIAN, LIVESTOCK, and HORSE submissions. Carcasses may be submitted for necropsy. Submissions for livestock and horse biopsies, serology, bacterial cultures and electron microscopy are also accepted. The Toxicology section of the Davis Lab will accept specimens from all animal species, including domestic animals, wildlife, and sea mammals.

How long should a bird be left in quarantine? And how long does it take a roosters swimmers to get where there need to be?

The thumb rule is 40:40
40 days at a minimum distance of 40 feats

@Jessimom , your vet wasn't being completely honest with you, lol. Results from the gross necropsy are available the day they do the necropsy, which is the day they receive the animal. Tissue and fluid samples are sent out, those can take two or more weeks, depending on what tests they do, but if your chick died from something obvious, they will enter that info into the computer the day they do the necropsy. In the future, just bypass the vet and you'll get 1-3 emails. First one will be the preliminary report, 2nd or 3rd will be the final, which is usually the one that will include your FedEx bill.

The biggest problem is, this isn't my vet. My vet referred me to this vet because they handle farm animals, and do their own necropsies. I will be having a conversation with my vet to not refer anyone there again. Thank you so much for the phone numbers. I'll be calling around!

Thanks again for all your help!!!!!!!

Thank you.

Just trying to help.
