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 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 camelids may appear under the heading “ruminants“.
Farm animals Ruminants and pigs
