Progress 01/01/07 to 12/31/07
Outputs
LADDL is one of 12 laboratories in the U.S. that is part of the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. These laboratories work towards the detection and reporting of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. The network of laboratories are trained in the negotiation and detection of a list of diseases that could affect the animal industries in the U.S. LADDL has been trained to perform tests for the early detection of exotic Newcastle disease, Avian influenza as well as foot and mouth disease.
Impacts
We continue to try to implement and train the latest test available to recognize and detect diseases that have great impact on human and animal health as well as economic impact on the State of Louisiana and the U.S.

Progress 01/01/06 to 12/31/06
Outputs
The Louisiana Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (LVMDL)became the Louisiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (LADDL). LADDL is one of 12 laboratories in the U.S. that is part of the National Animal Health Laboratory network. These laboratories are trained in the recognition and detection of a list of diseases that could effect the animal industries in the US. LADDL has been trained, and perform tests for the early detection of Exotic Newcastle Disease as well as Avian Influenza. Both these diseases can have a dramatic effect on the poultry industry, with loss of large number of poultry and a very serious economic loss. LADDL is also trained in both the recognition and detection of Foor and Mouth Disease.
Impacts
The expected impact for this program is the early recognition and detection of Foreign Animal Diseases, Foot and Mouth Disease, Exotic Newcastle Disease and Avian Influenza. Any of the diseases would cause a huge economic impact on the animal industry if spread among farms in the US.

Progress 01/01/05 to 12/31/05
Outputs
The Louisiana Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory is one of the 12 laboratories across the U.S. that is participating in the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. The purpose of this network of laboratories is for the detection and reporting of Foreign Animal Diseases in the U.S. The network of laboratories is being trained in the recoginition and detection of a list of diseases that could affect the animal industries in this country. LVMDL is trained for the early detection of Exotic Newcastle Disease as well as Avian Influenza. Both of these disease have serious effect on health and economic state of the poultry industry. LVMDL has also been trained in the recognition and detection of Foot and Mouth disease as well as Vesicular Stomatitis Virus.
Impacts
The impact for this program is the early recognition and detection of the Foreign Animal Disease, Foot and Mouth Disease, Exotic Newcastle Disease, Avian Influenza & Vesicular Stomatitis Virus. All of these diseases would cause huge economic impact on the animal industry if spread among farms in the U.S.

Progress 01/01/04 to 12/31/04
Outputs
The Louisiana Veterinary Medical Diagnostic laboratory continues to participate in the National Animal Health Laboratory Network for the enhancement of the biosecurity of the food and agricultural industries of the United States. The laboratory has expanded the list of assays performed by the laboratory for the detection of a selected group of Foreign Animal Diseases (FAD). The laboratory participated in the National Disease Surveillance for Exotic Newcastle Disease in 2004.A Quality Assurance Coordinator has been hired and development of a Quality Manual that describes the quality system of the laboratory has begun. Standard Operating Procedures are being composed for administrative and laboratory functions. The QA coordinator is working with the regulatory issues involving select agents and developing standard operating procedures for compliance with biosafety and biosecurity requirements. The QA coordinator is also investigating the revised AAVLD essential
requirements that incorporate the OIE standards. A computer analyst has been hired in 2004 and has attend training for the participation in establishment of a computer network for reporting to agencies in the Diagnostic Network.Professional staff have attended several training sessions for the laboratory detection of Foreign Animal Disease.
Impacts
The expected impact for this program is the early recognition and detection of the Foreign Animal Diseases Food and Mouth Disease, Exotic Newcastle Disease,and Avian Influenza that would cause huge economic impact on the animal industry if spread among farms in the U.S.
