SRUC Veterinary Analytical Laboratory opened by Mairie Goujon, Scottish Minister for Rural Affairs and the Environment.
The new £ 1.6 million animal disease surveillance and research center aims to provide a more reliable and more effective diagnosis of animal diseases throughout Scotland.
Scottish Rural College Veterinary Analytical Laboratory, located near Edinburgh, plans to analyze more than a million samples per year. The laboratory combines new technologies, robotics and human experience to create a center of excellence in the surveillance and testing of animal diseases.![](http://img.tomahnousfarm.org/img/ferm-2020/15794/image_v1n4Q48Ur9ry5Ob.jpg)
Accelerated diagnosis of diseases will help reduce the response time to outbreaks to protect animal and human health and the food chain. The Scottish Government has supported the creation of a new laboratory with a low-cost loan from the Scottish Financing Council's Financial Transaction Program.
Minister Goujon said that “the new SRUC central laboratory will improve veterinary surveillance in Scotland and establish a center of excellence at the Moredun Institute, further enhancing Scotland’s animal health capacity and experience.”![](http://img.tomahnousfarm.org/img/ferm-2020/15794/image_d8G424kf5fqnn5ZfDDKhHet8.jpg)
