Summary of the National Veterinary Assay Laboratory
Mission
Veterinary medicinal products (VMPs) are used to diagnose, prevent, and treat animal diseases. They help to maintain and improve the productivity and safety of animal products, as well as maintaining the health of companion animals such as cats and dogs. Under the One Health concept, they also play a vital role in improving public health by preventing zoonosis such as rabies and salmonellosis.
The National Veterinary Assay Laboratory (NVAL) is responsible for assuring the quality, efficacy and safety of VMPs, quasi-drugs, medical devices and Regenerative, Cellular therapy and Gene therapy products. Therefore, we perform technical examination tests and investigations, and provide guidance and advice at all stages, from development to sale and use.
