As the state laboratory for Saxony, the LUA plays a very important role in health and consumer protection in Saxony. In the area of official food testing, around 2, 100 samples from production and slaughterhouses were analysed as part of the National Residue Control Plan for veterinary drug residues in 2024. The search was for prohibited, unauthorised and authorised substances in animals. Based on federal, state and EU regulations, the Department of Veterinary Diagnostics supports the authorities responsible for enforcing animal health regulations, state and municipal institutions, as well as courts and special-purpose associations, veterinarians and animal owners. Ursula Reif (63) is LUA Head of Serology. She examines a sample for gonococci under the microscope, Dresden, Saxony, Germany
