With experienced, qualified staff and investment in the latest technologies, our reputation has been built over more than 40 years, providing high quality analysis with results that are reliable, delivered quickly and cost-effective. We service the needs of Rossdales, our internationally recognised equine veterinary ambulatory practice, equine hospital and diagnostic centre, and those of colleagues in veterinary practices throughout the UK and EU.
We offer our clients a customised service that includes not only the provision of clinical pathology results but also discussion and advice where appropriate, with access to our experienced equine medicine clinicians, surgeons and reproduction experts.
Our testing procedures are carried out in accordance with our stringent internal quality control policy and we are fully accredited with a number of external quality assessment schemes. Rossdales is an approved testing laboratory for Taylorella equigenitalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, both by culture and qPCR, under the Horserace Betting Levy Board (HBLB) Codes of Practice scheme.
Rossdales Laboratories offers a comprehensive range of clinical pathology services specifically designed for the particular needs of equine practitioners.

NEW PATHOLOGISTWe are delighted to welcome Jill Bryan, who has joined the laboratory as a diagnostic pathologist. Jill joins us from University College Dublin, where she worked as a Lecturer in Veterinary Pathology. She qualified from the same College in 2003, having also completed a BSc in Veterinary Pathology at the Royal Veterinary College as part of her undergraduate training. After three years in equine and small animal practice she undertook a residency in Equine Internal Medicine at the University Veterinary Hospital in Dublin and became a diplomate of the European College of Equine Internal Medicine in 2011. She subsequently completed a residency in Veterinary Pathology and obtained her fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2016. She enjoys all areas of equine diagnostic pathology and has particular interests in infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. She is already proving to be a great addition to our lab team.
NEW qPCR TESTSCORONAVIRUS: In 2017, Rossdales Laboratories detected the first clinical case of equine Coronavirus infection in the UK – results recently presented at the ECEIM conference in Budapest by Jill Bryan. The incidence of disease is low, but in cases with compatible clinical signs, testing helps confirm the diagnosis and is a useful addition to our panel of qPCR tests for infectious causes of intestinal disease.
INFLUENZA: Influenza qPCR is a new addition to our panel of respiratory pathogens.
DERMATOPHYTE qPCR: Assays are in the final stages of validation – keep an eye on our website & latest submission form for these new tests.
See the PCR section (p10) for our full range of tests and sample requirements.
NEW POSTMORTEM FACILITYWork on our new postmortem room was completed early in 2017 and provides us with a fantastic new facility for performing these examinations.
Please contact the laboratory on 01638 663017 or the duty vet on call if you need to submit a carcase for postmortem examination.
NEWS 2017 has been another good year for Rossdales Laboratories and we thank you for your continued support. We are always looking for ways to improve our service, so please do get in touch if you have any feedback.
