Our September 2016 newsletter is now available online. Please find it in our Publications section.
"The Ontario Animal Health Network is starting a listserv for veterinarians who practice on, or wish to receive information on small flock poultry. Veterinarians will receive pertinent notifications on disease outbreaks, small flock resources, and a forum to discuss small flock issues.
To our valued clients,
Due to the possibility of a Canada Post strike Purolator is currently advising that they cannot guarantee express/next day delivery. We are recommending that until the Canada Post issue is resolved, non-urgent cases be shipped Monday-Wednesday to avoid the possibility of specimens being held up over the weekend. Weather is also a factor, and with the increased temperatures this week we are advising that you include extra ice packs to avoid any over-heating/spoiling of specimens.

AHL has traditionally offered a prepaid overnight courier service for Ontario clients through Purolator Courier. The good news! This is NOT changing. The method that is used to do this however IS changing.
Sad news - Keith Harron, technical supervisor in the AHL Virology lab section died on May 20th 2016, after a short illness. Keith was well known, especially to many in the poultry and swine industries, and will be missed greatly. Keith is survived by his wife Maureen Harron, an AHL employee in the Histotechnology lab section. Our sincere sympathy goes out to Maureen and her family.
