Idexx Laboratories Inc. posted a 3 percent sales increase during the third quarter, though the recession continues to take a bite out of the veterinary products maker’s business compared with last year.
Idexx, which also makes testing products for water and milk, reported a $31.5 million profit on $259 million in sales for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared to a $26 million haul on $251 million in sales during the same period last year.
