Duration
| Duration | The information applies from the date of arrival of the samplesat Laboklin. “Days” means “working days”. Due to delays in transport, test duration may take longer for tests which are carried out by a partner laboratory. The specified test durations are supplied without liability. |
Species
| Large animals | Horses and farm animals |
| Small mammals | Rabbit, guinea pig, rat, mouse, hamster, ferret, chinchilla and other small mammals which are being kept as pets In individual cases, tests for small mammals may also be applicable for small wild mammals (e.g. hedgehogs). |
| Small animals | Dog and cat |
| New World camelids | Llama, alpaca; Being polygastric, new world camels may appear under the heading “ruminants“. |
| Farm animals | Ruminants and pigs |
