Dr. Scott Jones Retires From WVDL
Congratulations to Dr. Scott Jones on his retirement from the WVDL. Dr. Jones served as the Barron Laboratory Supervisor for 30 years.
Dr. Jones became a member of the WVDL staff in April of 1984. Prior to taking the job at the WVDL, he worked for Jerome Foods investigating poultry disease and production problems and also for the Virginia Diagnostic Lab, where he worked in both regulatory testing and handled all necropsies for the lab. Jones worked in a large-animal practice in Markesan, Wisconsin for seven years which included mostly dairy herd health and some production medicine. He obtained his DVM from Michigan State (1978) and did his pathology training at Minnesota (1987-92).
During his time with WVDL, Dr. Jones brought avian expertise and contributed to the expansion of commercial poultry testing capabilities. Dr. Jones’ shared practical hands on knowledge for management, disease prevention and diagnosis for commercial and back yard flock as well as bovine based operations via client consultation and outreach.
Dr. Jones enjoys being outdoors and will spend his retirement working with his bird dogs, fishing and enjoying his garden.
Thank you Dr. Jones, for your service and best wishes for a happy retirement!
