EAST LANSING, MI-A ground-breaking ceremony was recently held for the state’s new Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory, located on Michigan State University’s campus. Gov. John Engler has touted the new facility as being an integral component in ensuring the long-term viability of Michigan’s food, livestock and wildlife industries.

“It will be a tremendous tool in helping Michigan identify, track and address emerging issues, such as the recent confirmation of West Nile virus in Michigan, as well as provide resources to identify and better understand new diseases that could emerge in the future,” Engler says.

The new facility is the result of a cooperative effort between the Michigan Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Management and Budget, Department of Community Health, Department of Environmental Quality, Michigan State University, Michigan veterinarians and Michigan’s agriculture and wildlife industries.
