Vet lab service praised NEW ORLEANS—The Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory was cited here at a joint meeting of tire Texas and Louisiana Veterinary Medical Associations for its “significant contributions” to the livestock industry and the practice of veterinary medicine. “The creation of the Texas Vet erinary Medical Diagnostic Labora tory was the best thing that has happened to the livestock industry and the veterinary profession since Mark Francis discovered the cause of tick feverDr. Ed Avery, presi dent of the Texas Veterinary Medi cal Association, said in presenting a plaque to Dr. William L. Sippel, the laboratory’s executive director. In addition to its normal services, the Texas A&M University-based diagnostic laboratory was applauded for its efforts in assisting with the annual Southwestern Animal Health Conference. The laboratory was created by the 60th Texas Legislature at the urging of numerous farmers, ranchers and agricultural organizations, including the Texas Farm Bureau, the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, Texas Sheep and Coat Raisers Association, Texas Pork Producers Association, Texas Cattle Feed Lot Association and the Texas Veterinary Medical Association. Sippel was named executive di rector in 1969 and began the search for additional personnel. Facilities for the laboratory were constructed adjacent to Texas A&M s College' of Veterinary Medicine complex in College Station and dedicated in 1970. Five years later the lab’s serv ices were enhanced with the open ing ol a facility in Amarillo. The Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory has been in- | stnnnental in detection of outbreaks I and epidemics that could have caused muior problems had they gone unnoticed. “The laboratory serves as a new or unusual disease detection cen ter.' Sippel said. "In these days of rapid transportation, new diseases can be widely distributed in a short I period of time. Prime examples of the laborato- iry’s services were the early detec tion of the epidemics of anthrax in Falls County in 1974, hog cholera in the Panhandle in 1975 and anthrax in Foard County last year.
