PCR method for diagnosing mastitis pathogens in cows

Alphalab has developed a PCR test system for identifying the main pathogens that cause mastitis in cows, helping to quickly identify the cause of the disease and select effective treatment.

Mammary gland pathology in cows is a serious problem in livestock farming. Farm productivity, milk quality, and the safety of dairy products for human health are closely linked to mastitis in cows

DNA testing is a method for diagnosing mastitis that allows for the rapid and accurate identification of the cause of the disease and the timely selection of the most effective and safe treatment for animals.

The PCR method for diagnosing mastitis pathogens in cows is used in many countries worldwide in laboratories and dairy productivity monitoring organizations. AlfaLab has developed a comprehensive test system for testing bovine milk.
