Veterinary Anatomopathological Research and Diagnosis
The Veterinary Anatomopathological Research and Diagnosis Service is considered as a unit linked to the new facilities of the Agri-Food, Forestry and Veterinary Campus of the University of Lleida. It is also proposed, with an open vision and integration with research groups already consolidated or consolidated in the future, to meet the demands that are required in the field of Animal Health.
The Veterinary Pathological Anatomy studies the morphological alterations of the different organs and tissues that integrate the organic systems of the domestic species, being understood by morphological alteration the macroscopic (at first sight) and microscopic (or histological) changes that take place in the tissues due to an ailment.
The purpose of the service is to provide support to veterinary clinical work in all those aspects that have to do exclusively with the Pathological Anatomy of domestic animals.
It is proposed, as main objectives, 1) to offer a quality anatomopathological diagnosis service (necropsies, biopsies and cytology) to veterinary clinics, companies of the agri-food sector, pharmaceutical companies and the university community; 2) Offer support to practical teaching in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Clinical Veterinary Hospital of Torrelameu; 3) Offer research support.
