The guy I talked to today said that when doing a necropsy the look for the tumors. But not all tumors are caused by Marek’s.
I’ve read conflicting info on vaccinated birds. They said it wouldn’t show as a false positive? I’m seriously considering sending in a couple samples now.Highly, Highly reccomend vetdna.com

I called and they were so helpful. Didn’t make me feel stupid for asking questions or wanting tests done.
They actually do testing for most state labs anyway.
So for the Marek’s test I need a few drops of blood on a piece of paper. Send it in a Ziplock with a form I print out. That’s it. That easy. No overnight shipping required. Turn around is same day they get the sample.
He also said it’s a better test then a necropsy. The necropsy looks for tumors. But that doesn’t mean the tumors are caused by Marek’s. The blood test is 99.9% accurate and vaccinated birds are not a false positive.
AND if it’s not Marek’s and I want to test for something else I just ask (and pay) and they can use the same sample.
Did I mention it’s $20.
Give them a call. They were great. I had so many questions and I'm sure I rambled and repeated myself. Very patient and helpful.I’ve read conflicting info on vaccinated birds. They said it wouldn’t show as a false positive? I’m seriously considering sending in a couple samples now.
