A veterinary reference laboratory is used to detect zoonotic diseases in domestic and farm animals. Animals are routinely and expertly tested in the laboratory for brucellosis, TB, anthrax, yellow fever, rabies, measles, and other diseases. They are also used to perform pre-anesthetic evaluations, perform wellness checkups, and monitor treatment efficacy. Regular testing helps prevent the spread of hazardous zoonotic diseases and preserves animal health. In addition to providing technical and scientific support using molecular diagnostics, hematology, and immunodiagnostics, they are frequently used in clinical pathology, bacteriology, toxicology, virology, and pregnancy testing.
The market for veterinary reference laboratory in 2021 was worth USD 3.74 billion, and by 2030, it will reach USD 9.74 billion, growing at an 11.2% CAGR during the forecast
