Diagnostics

Hawkesbury Equine veterinary centre has the most recent equipment available for in-house blood testing. We are able to process bloods on our patients and have haematology, biochemistry and electrolyte  results within 20 minutes of taking the blood in an emergency situation. This ability can make a big difference for our critically ill patients. Our race and performance clients can also drop off their horses blood samples for same-day results prior to racing and performance.

Additional in-house laboratory features include blood glucose, foal IgG quantification and faecal egg counts.

Our reproductive laboratory is equipped to process chilled and frozen semen, and frozen semen storage is available.

Our in-house lab is supported by a commercial laboratory which undertakes specialist tests.
