Animal health tests enable the rapid detection of metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, and pregnancy in livestock. They play a vital role in the early identification of health issues, helping veterinarians and farmers take appropriate action at an early stage. Many modern rapid tests are based on lateral flow technology and provide reliable results within minutes, making them ideal for on-site testing.

Depending on the application, a variety of sample types can be used, including blood, serum, milk, urine, saliva, feces, and tissue. Available test systems cover a wide range of diseases and diagnostic applications, including ketosis and mastitis in cattle, Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD), pregnancy detection using Pregnancy-Associated Glycoproteins (PAG), African Swine Fever (ASF), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS), Salmonella, and Bluetongue disease in sheep.

Thanks to their ease of use, rapid turnaround time, and practical application, animal health tests are well suited for herd health management, screening programs, and veterinary diagnostics. They help detect disease outbreaks at an early stage, improve animal health, and reduce economic losses in livestock production. Positive screening results, particularly for notifiable animal diseases, should be confirmed using appropriate laboratory methods.
