Actual reporting of test results depends on the full battery of tests requested, day of the week/time of day samples arrive at the testing laboratory, and the quantity/quality of samples submitted. Turnaround times are estimates in business days and apply to individual tests. Poultry submissions requesting multiples tests (e.g., AI, Mg/Ms, culture, etc.) for a single flock are counted as one accession. This allows clients to receive bulk testing of same species (from the same owner) under one accession. An accession is defined as samples from the same animal / herd / flock, originating from a single animal owner, submitted for the same condition, collected at the same time. An accession fee of $8.00 is applied to each accession/case, not each specimen.
