TESTS IN PRODUCTIVE ANIMALS

In the field of productive animals, laboratory research contributes both preventively and therapeutically to the management of a farm in the following ways:

Diagnostic approach to pathogenic conditions (mastitis, diarrhea, sudden death, miscarriage, etc.) by isolating and identifying bacterial agents and then testing for susceptibility to antibiotics.

Research of prevalence of various bacterial and viral diseases with serological tests in a breeding.

Periodic preventive control of infectious diseases in breeding.

Diagnostic examination of animals for infectious diseases before their introduction into a livestock unit, preventing the risk of spreading diseases.
