Questions

Which ruminant tests work on milk?

Specimen type is stated per assay on its product page. Several of the antibody assays accept serum or milk; the insert is the authority for the validated specimen types.

Is there a brucellosis test kit for cattle?

Yes, in two formats. The Brucella Antibody Rapid Test, catalogue number 1089191820, is read by eye in ten to fifteen minutes from serum or plasma, and there is a matching cassette for sheep and goats. For laboratory work the Brucella spp. real-time PCR kit covers the same target. Brucellosis is a zoonosis, so sample handling, reporting and who may run the test follow your national rules.

Can one order mix farm and clinic items?

Yes. Cassettes, PCR kits, analysers and stainless-steel equipment are quoted and shipped as one consolidated order.

What is a trich test for cattle, and do you supply one?

Trich is bovine trichomoniasis, caused by Tritrichomonas foetus — a bull-transmitted venereal disease that shows up as repeat breeders and early abortion rather than as visibly sick animals. We supply it as a Tritrichomonas foetus real-time PCR kit, catalogue number GZP041, and as a duplex with Giardia lamblia. Both are catalogued as cross-species, so the package insert is the authority on validated specimens and species; confirm it before ordering for a bull battery.

What is a PI test, and does the BVD cassette do it?

No, and the difference matters. A PI animal is persistently infected with bovine viral diarrhoea virus and sheds it for life, so finding one means looking for the virus itself, normally by antigen or PCR on an ear notch or blood sample. The Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Antibody Rapid Test in this catalogue, number 1089211820, detects antibody, which answers whether animals have been exposed or vaccinated at herd level. It is a herd-status screening test, not a PI identification test, and we will say so before you order.

Do you supply TB, BSE, Johne's or PAP tests for cattle?

Not today, and it is better that you hear it here. Bovine TB is tested under official programmes by skin test or an approved laboratory assay; BSE testing is a brain-tissue test done only by designated laboratories; Johne's disease is screened by serum or milk ELISA and faecal PCR; a PAP test is a pulmonary arterial pressure measurement taken by a veterinarian, not a kit; and vibriosis (Campylobacter fetus) is not in the range either. What we do hold for cattle is bovine viral diarrhoea, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, brucellosis, foot and mouth disease serotypes O and A, the 3ABC non-structural protein antibody test listed under small ruminants, and the cross-species zoonotic PCR panels including Tritrichomonas foetus, Leptospira, Salmonella, Neospora caninum and Cryptosporidium.
