Leading Diagnostics Nationally, Protecting California Locally

CAHFS Turlock has MOVED!

The California Animal Health and Food Safety (CAHFS) Turlock Laboratory is excited to announce the opening of our new facility at 830 Dianne Drive, Turlock, CA 95380. This move also marks an important expansion of services, as the new CAHFS-Turlock is able to provide necropsy services for mammalian species in addition to its established poultry diagnostic program. 

Our team is continuing to refine workflows and optimize our laboratory layout to provide the highest level of service possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we settle into our new home and thank you for your continued support during this transition. We look forward to serving you from our new location for many years to come.
