Current research

The data submitted by veterinary practices and laboratories makes a variety of research possible. Here we have showcased some of the research being completed by the SAVSNET team and postgraduate researchers.  A key aim of SAVSNET is to support research and we invite researchers from practice, academia and industry to consider using SAVSNET data for their research requirements.
