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.
