The BVC is a veterinary diagnostic laboratory. We are state funded to supply Kentucky veterinarians and livestock producers with a central facility for diagnostic testing.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Breathitt Veterinary Center will make maximum use of all resources available to meet needs of veterinarians and animal owners for diagnostic data, research results, instructional programs, and field investigations. Mission accomplishment will assist in the reduction of suffering by animals, preserve and expand animal production industries and train animal health technologists.

The laboratory operates in four functional areas in order to meet its mission:
· diagnostics
· research
· instruction
· field service

The provision of rapid, accurate diagnostic data that enables veterinarians to make appropriate treatment decisions is the BVC's first priority.

The field service veterinarian is available without charge to make instate farm visits for epidemiologic consultations when requested through the referring practitioner. Applied, practical research at the BVC addresses many of the disease situations encountered by food animal owners. The BVC's continuing education program includes timely news media releases, published material and programs of interest to veterinarians and producers.

The BVC is part of an interdependent team dedicated to the efficient provision of animal products to the consumers of Kentucky. The producer, veterinarian and the BVC work together using the latest scientific techniques required to reduce losses from animal diseases and to promote animal health.
