In 1980, in response to a request by the Honorable Bob Odom, Commissioner of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF), and the faculty of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM), the Louisiana Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (LVMDL) was established. In October of 2006, the LVMDL went through a name change and became the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (LADDL). LADDL is a full-service American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD)-accredited laboratory, and is housed within the LSU SVM. The LADDL provides animal disease diagnostic services to the agricultural and general communities of the State of Louisiana, as well as the continental U.S., primarily through the veterinary medical profession. LADDL conducts necessary research for the continued enhancement of the following outreach services: research development and adaptation of diagnostic tests and protocols, research and investigation of livestock and companion animal diseases impacting the health and well being of the animals and citizens of Louisiana, and research on selective diseases impacting the economics on the animal industries of Louisiana. LADDL also provides support for the teaching and research programs of the LSU SVM. |
