Welcome to Avian Disease and Oncology Laboratory Partnering Webpage!

 

The Avian Disease and Oncology Laboratory (ADOL) formerly known as the Regional Poultry Research Laboratory was established as a result of joint efforts by the Agricultural Experiment Stations of the Northeastern and North Central States and USDA. Since its establishment on August 8, 1939, the ADOL has always provided the necessary leadership in solving problems in neoplastic and other viral diseases of poultry.
