Tests and examinations used to assess the health of animals, including cystocentesis, the California mastitis test, the equine prepurchase exam, the mallein test for glanders, the vertebral heart score and vaginal cytology.

Each member is a veterinary and animal care entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
