DIARY GAME 10/05/21; INSIGHT OF A VETERINARY LABORATORY

Hello Everyone,
It is of great pleasure to share with you how a standard veterinary laboratory looks like as today marks my first post in this community. And i would be delighted to take you through a few instruments\equipment and how everything works in the laboratory of the only veterinary collage in Ghana(Animal Health and Production Collage)Pong-Tamale.

Now before we get started i would like to draw your attention that this laboratory was made to come a success due to the partnership of the collage and some Canadians NGOs hence some of the instruments are not easy gotten in an average Ghanaian market. In each and every institution there are rules and regulations and so applied to the lab because it contains intruments that are delicate and expensive to buy in an average Ghanaian market.
