  • FFS, BHB, AST, ALT, Bili, GLDH, Hst, Chol, Ca, P, Mg

Blood profile - birth paresis

  • FFS, BHB, AST, ALT, AP, Bili, GLDH, Hst, Chol, Krea, CK, Ca, P, Mg

If there is an increase in postpartum behavior or birth paresis at the herd level.

As a single animal diagnostic (problem animals) and herd diagnostic (10 unafflicted animals bevore calving).

Blood profile - fertility cattle

Urine profile

  • pH-value, acids, bases, NH4, BSQ, NSBA, Ca, P, Na, Mg, K

Is especially interesting for cows befor calving to assess the risk of birth paresis and to check the success of the use of acid salts in the ration.

Udder Health

classic bacteriological analysis (BA)

  • classical bacteriological pathogen cultivation of quarter or total milk samples
  • Diagnostics according to an accredited method based on the DVG guidelines.
  • In addition, cell count determination, resistogram preparation, and determination for vaccine preparation can be performed.

Mastitis analysis per PCR

  • 16 relevant mastitis pathogens including Mycoplasma bovis and Mycoplasma spp. can be detected by molecular biology.

Mykoplasmen

  • Mykoplasma bovis und Mykoplasma spp. 

In case of high cell counts, treatment-resistant mastitis and frequently bacteriologically negative examination results, screening for mycoplasma is recommended.

Mastits analysis in the tank milk

  • fast and uncomplicated screening-method at herd level
  • In addition, there is the possibility of using the tank milk annual contract as a monthly herd screening.

Our veterinary diagnostics

We offer you various analyses around the health of livestock animals in our accredited testing laboratory. 

 

Metabolic analyses help to detect problems in husbandry and feeding management early. Important information on energy metabolism, acid-base balance, mineral metabolism and the supply of trace elements as well as vitamin balance can be obtained. In addition, fertility and calf management as well as the feeding status of the herd can be checked.

Udder health analyses pregnancy analyses for cows, goats and sheep, as well as parasitological and bacteriological examinations (including faeces, Cleaning and disinfection swabs, nose swabs, cubicle quality) are indispensable tools in animal health management.
