Birling Avian Laboratory
Birling Avian Laboratory is accredited to the highest standards by the National Association of Testing Authorities Australia (NATA), our state of the art lab stands as a pioneer of research and development in all that we do.
By assessing all segments of the business harnessing the latest technologies and equipment, we are able to maintain hygiene and quality assurance levels. The work we do comprises microbiology, quality assurance, serology, virology, molecular biology, allergen testing and pathology. All of this testing equates to more than 250,000 tests annually.
In addition, Birling has a research and development program to ensure we remain at the forefront of testing technology. Recent innovations involved: creating an autogenous vaccine for salmonella, developing tests to detect viruses and methodologies to differentiate between viruses in poultry, developing tests for genetically-modified organisms, and creating methods to screen out pathogens within 24 hours.
Other initiatives include collaborative research with private, government and university researchers, such as the University of Sydney, the University of NSW, the University of Melbourne and the Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute.
