BOVINE / CATTLE Tests and Prices
MASTITIS
Mastitis is the inflammation of the mammary gland and udder tissue. It usually occurs as an immune response to bacterial invasion of the teat canal by variety of bacterial sources present on the farm (commonly through bedding or contaminated teat dips), and can also occur as a result of chemical, mechanical, or thermal injury to the cow’s udder.
CAMPYLOBACTER
Bovine genital campylobacteriosis (BGC) is a venereal infectious disease that affects reproduction. It is caused by the Gram-negative bacillus Campylobacter fetus subspecies venerealis (Cfv), which may include the biotype intermedius. The bull is a lifelong asymptomatic carrier and transmitter of the disease.
TRITRICHOMONAS
Bovine trichomoniasis (Trich) is a venereal disease of cattle caused by the protozoan Tritrichomonas foetus. This disease causes early pregnancy loss and occasional late-term abortions; it may also extend the breeding/calving season.
