A disease event is currently under investigation involving the detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in dairy cows presenting with decreased feed intake and significantly reduced milk production. WADDL as a USDA National Animal Health Laboratory Network Tier 1 laboratory is actively involved in the response to this incident. To date, confirmed cases are […]
A disease event is currently under investigation involving the detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in dairy cows presenting with decreased feed intake and significantly reduced milk production.
Our range of bovine disease diagnostic panels has been thoughtfully developed to cover the most prevalent and challenging conditions in cattle herds today.
This comprehensive panel is designed to provide immunologic and disease surveillance insights into the health of your cattle herd, offering timely and accurate results that can help safeguard your livestock investment.
Bovine venereal trichomoniasis is caused by Tritrichomonas foetus, a flagellate protozoan parasite. T. foetus lives in the reproductive tracts of bulls and cows and has worldwide distribution. Confirmation of trichomoniasis requires demonstration of T. foetus parasites by laboratory testing, which is offered by WADDL.
Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a frequently fatal disease syndrome primarily of certain ruminant species (e.g. cattle, bison, deer), caused by one of several herpesviruses. Learn more about the disease, diagnosis, and testing at WADDL.
Bovine virus diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection in cattle herds can result in major economic loss from poor reproductive performance (reduced percent pregnant, increased abortion, and stillbirth) or poor calf performance (increased calf sickness and death loss). Learn more about the disease and testing with WADDL.
Maintenance of a profitable livestock industry depends upon efficient animal reproduction. Diseases that interrupt pregnancy are costly, and control measures cannot be devised until the cause for the reproductive loss is accurately identified.
Johne’s disease is a contagious, chronic, and usually fatal infection that affects primarily the small intestine of ruminants. WADDL offers a PCR test to detect the disease.
