Laboratory Services
Creston Large Animal is proud to have an in house lab to run basic hematology and chemistry tests for fast, high quality results. Having an in-house lab helps us (diagnosis/prognosis) your livestock quicker. This assures us we are treating your animal with the right drugs so we can get them performing again. Our laboratory information management system called Vet Lab collects all results into an electronic medical record and prints them on an integrated report for easy interpretation, and gets it back to the customer in a timely manner. Vet Lab also integrates all diagnostic results into one single report, this helps us understand and find a solution to your livestock's needs. We also utilize other high end labs and research centers for more specific lab testing needs.
