Quality Control Evaluation Report 'Suitable'

The Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory of the Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute has been recognized by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency for its diagnostic capabilities in disaster-level livestock diseases.

On the 26th, the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory announced that it received a "suitable" rating in all categories of the proficiency testing for disaster-level livestock disease diagnostics.

This evaluation tested the diagnostic abilities of nationwide livestock quarantine agencies for three major livestock diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, and African swine fever.

The assessment was conducted using methods to diagnose genes and antibodies from unknown samples, and the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory once again demonstrated its capability to provide rapid and accurate diagnoses when suspected cases of major livestock infectious diseases occur.

A representative of the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory stated, "This result proves our competence as a livestock disease diagnostic institution, and we will continuously improve and maintain our diagnostic capabilities to prevent the spread of disaster-level livestock diseases."
