Anaplasmosis is a blood-borne disease that can quietly spread through a herd, leading to severe anemia, decreased production, and even death in adult cattle. 🩸 Early detection is key.

Testing helps:
🔹 Identify infected carriers that show no symptoms
🔹 Prevent transmission through insects, needles, or instruments
🔹 Protect your herd’s health during stress events (like transport or calving)

Our ELISA test helps detect exposure to anaplasmosis and identify carrier animals before problems arise. You can submit just one tube of blood to test for anaplasmosis and other important herd diseases like Johne’s at the same time.

Keeping this disease under control starts with accurate diagnostics and consistent monitoring.

BVDV (Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus) is one of the most costly and widespread cattle diseases. 🧪

The BVDV Antigen (Ag) test identifies persistently infected (PI) animals — cattle that continuously shed the virus, spreading infection within the herd.

Why it matters:
🔹 PI animals often look healthy but cause reproductive loss, calf sickness, and reduced performance.
🔹 Identifying and removing PI animals helps protect the entire herd.
Routine screening for BVDV Ag is a simple, proactive step toward long-term herd health and biosecurity. 🐄💪

💡 Tip: Test all new additions before introducing them to the herd. Testing can be performed on either blood samples or ear notches.

• Goat/Sheep molecular PCR: Johne’s PCR, CAEV/OPP PCR, CL PCR

❌ What’s not changing:
• Our core diagnostic tests remain the same reliable pricing you know and trust:

📦 Grace period for customers:
We’ll honor promotional pricing and waived set-up fees for any samples shipped on or before November 2 (based on FedEx/UPS ship date).

Healthy herds start with informed testing. 🐄

Understanding your herd’s health status is essential for preventing disease, protecting reproduction, and maintaining performance. Routine diagnostic screening can identify infections early — often before clinical signs appear.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll highlight key tests every producer should know:
• Quick guide to PCR vs. ELISA vs. Chute Side testing
• BVDV Ag (Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Antigen)
• Anaplasmosis
• Neospora

Follow along to learn how each test supports healthier, more productive cattle and smarter herd management decisions. 🌾👩‍🔬

📦 Shipping Samples to Delta Livestock Diagnostics? 🐄🐑🐖

Proper packaging ensures safe delivery and accurate results. Follow these guidelines:

- Label each sample with the animal ID (name or ear tag number).
- Use leakproof containers (e.g., red/yellow top tubes or screw-cap tubes).
- Wrap samples in absorbent material (e.g., paper towel) and place in a leakproof zip-seal bag.
- Include a waterproof bag with the submission form, ensuring contact details are provided.
- Pack in sturdy outer packaging (cardboard box for pregnancy samples; insulated cooler for biosecurity samples) with ice packs (not frozen water bags). Use paper towels or bubble wrap to separate the ice packs from the samples to prevent direct contact.
- Mark the outer package as “Exempt Animal Specimen” and ensure it withstands a 4-foot drop test.

⚠️ Important: Do not send samples in syringes with needles attached, gloves, OB sleeves, or leaky containers.

👉 These guidelines focus on blood samples. For other sample types (e.g., f***l, swabs), packaging instructions are available in our Sample Shipping Guide: https://loom.ly/lgwCrew.
