Why Early Pregnancy Detection Matters:

Early pregnancy status is one of the most powerful tools for improving reproductive efficiency and herd/flock planning.

At Delta Livestock Diagnostics, we offer two Pregnancy Associated Glycoprotein (PAG) testing options to fit your operation across multiple species:

Chute-Side Rapid Strip Test (PAGs) — On the farm testing
✔ Results in minutes
✔ Cattle & Goats: Detect as early as 28 days post-breeding
✔ Sheep: Detect as early as 35 days post-breeding

Pregnancy ELISA (PAGs) — Laboratory Testing
✔ Cattle & Goats: Detect as early as 28 days post-breeding
✔ Sheep: Detect as early as 35 days post-breeding
✔ Cattle: Confirm open status ≥50 days post-calving

Early identification allows producers to:
• Re-breed open animals sooner
• Make informed culling decisions
• Optimize nutrition and breeding schedules
• Improve overall herd and flock profitability

Submit a serum sample to Delta Livestock Diagnostics or use a chute-side strip test for immediate insight.

Q: When and why would you choose PCR or ELISA testing?

PCR testing is used when identifying an active infection is critical, as it detects the presence of the actual virus or bacteria. ELISA testing is used to identify past exposure by detecting antibodies and is commonly used for screening purposes. In many biosecurity programs, ELISA is used first, with PCR testing providing confirmation when needed.

Why Test for Johne’s Disease? 🐑🐄🐐

Johne’s Disease can quietly impact your herd long before visible symptoms appear. Early testing protects both herd health and profitability.

Economic impact includes:
• Reduced milk production
• Weight loss
• Poor feed efficiency
• Higher culling rates

Herd health benefits:
• Understand disease spread within your operation
• Inform targeted culling decisions
• Improve calving hygiene
• Strengthen replacement strategies

Regular testing shifts management from reactive to proactive and support more productive herds over time.

❄️ Winter weather is moving across much of the U.S. — and your livestock are feeling it too!

Cold temperatures, wind, and snow can challenge even the toughest herds. With the right care and a little extra attention, your animals can stay healthy and productive all season long.

Winter care reminders from Delta Livestock Diagnostics:
• Fresh, unfrozen water is essential
• Quality forage and proper nutrition help maintain body heat
• Shelter from wind and moisture reduces stress and illness
• Watch for early signs of infection, winter is no time to guess
• Routine health checks help stop problems before they spread

‼️ Weather Update for Our Clients: ‼️
Due to the winter storm forecast over the January 24 weekend, Delta Livestock Diagnostics may have limited lab capacity on Monday, January 26, and a partial operational day Tuesday. If possible, please avoid scheduling sample arrivals for Monday to help prevent delays.

Biosecurity testing results may also be delayed by 1–2 days. Reports typically released Tuesday may instead be delivered Wednesday. We’ll continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as needed.

Cold weather may be tough, but your herd is tougher. And we’re here to help you keep them healthy, comfortable, and performing their best all winter long. 🐑🐖🐐

🦠 Biosecurity 101: Keeping Your Herd Healthy

Biosecurity testing is a critical line of defense in protecting your livestock from disease and illness. At its core, biosecurity means taking proactive steps to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful pathogens within your herd. This includes testing, monitoring, and implementing best practices that help keep your animals safe and healthy.

Why does biosecurity testing matter? It allows producers to detect potential health risks early, before they turn into widespread problems that could impact animal wellbeing, productivity, and overall herd performance. By identifying issues sooner rather than later, you can make informed management decisions and reduce the risk of costly outbreaks.

Beyond animal health, biosecurity testing also protects your investment. Healthy animals mean better production, fewer medical expenses, and greater long-term success for your operation.

Prioritizing biosecurity isn’t just good practice — it’s essential for responsible livestock management and sustainable farming.

❄️ Proper sample handling matters!

In a recent shipment, blood tubes were sent without secondary containment — and the ice pack was in direct contact with the tubes. This caused partial freezing and coagulation, which can compromise test results.

To ensure accurate diagnostics:
✅ Use secondary containment (place tubes in a sealed Ziploc bag)
✅ Wrap each tube individually — don’t bundle with a rubber band
✅ Position ice packs so they don’t touch the samples directly

Following these simple steps protects your samples and helps us provide reliable results every time.
