Objectives & Deliverables
<b>Project Methods</b><br> The Nebraska Veterinary Diagnostic Center (NVDC) is a fully AAVLD accredited level one USDA National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN). As part of NAHLN membership the NVDC utilizes highly trained staff in conjunction with a quality controlled system to ensure methods and procedures are properly followed. As a NAHLN member lab, protocols and methods are distributed by NAHLN and integrated into the laboratory's quality system. Performance on these is evaluated through proficiency testing to ensure proper testing results. The NVDC will utilize NAHLN procedures where available, in addition to those that are developed and executed internally through the quality system. These include testing for a variety of high consequence and foreign animal diseases, in addition to those related to public heath, such as antimicrobial resistance surveillance.
