Recent laboratory records indicate that water submitted from North Dakota grazing pastures has sulfate concentrations over the recommended maximum safe level for ruminants. Elevated sulfate concentrations can pose a significant health risk to ruminants, particularly young animals, newly introduced livestock or animals that have not gradually adapted to higher sulfate levels. Clinical consequences can range from diarrhea to polioencephalomalacia.

Happy Veterinary Technician Week! 🐾💙

This week, we’re celebrating our incredible veterinary technicians who keep our veterinary lab running smoothly! From answering phones and assisting clients to managing billing, coordinating requests, analyzing samples, and keeping daily operations on track, your work is essential to everything we do.

While we’re highlighting a couple of our amazing techs here, we’re celebrating all of our veterinary technicians and the important role each plays in keeping our lab running smoothly (Lori Winter Scott Amanda Ferguson and Diandra Gallagher).

Thank you for your dedication, compassion, and all that you do to support our clients, our team, and the animals we serve!
