Live Animals

A separate accession form is required for each species and for each diagnostic profile.  Please attach a copy of the accession form to the shipping crate to help us accurately match animals with the test(s) requested.

Animals should be shipped in a clean, sturdy ventilated shipping container and provided with adequate room, food moisture and bedding.  Always include enough food and moisture for at least 72 hours of transit in the event that animal receipt is delayed.  Animal comfort may be enhanced by providing extra moisture in the summer months and extra bedding in the winter months.  Be sure the container is properly secured to prevent animal escape or injury in transit.

All animal cases are to be shipped PREPAID by an overnight carrier to RADIL, 4011 Discovery Drive, Columbia, MO 65201.  Call your carrier prior to scheduling animal pick-up to determine whether special pick-up times are required to ensure overnight delivery.  Call or email the RADIL to notify us of your pending animal shipment so that we will be able to track shipments that do not arrive on schedule.  Please ship from Monday through Wednesday to avoid the possibility of weekend deliveries.
