USING THE RIGHT TOOL TO ASSESS IgG STATUS?
ImmunIGY Bovine IgG is a new test available which can check whether a calf has received sufficient IgG antibodies, on farm, in just 10 minutes!
Calves receiving insufficient high quality colostrum, in the correct timeframe, will suffer from failure of passive transfer (a lack of antibodies to respond to infectious disease).
For veterinary surgeons and animal health advisors, the ImmunIGY Bovine IgG test provides the following benefits:
- Simple to use on farm & in practice
- Direct measure of IgG- no need to rely on an estimate from total plasma proteins
- Fully quantitative, reporting IgG levels in mg/mL
- Blood sample for running the test acquired via a lancet providing an easy sampling technique
- Simple to use LFD (lateral flow device) test that delivers a rapid result
- Validated against laboratory-based methods
- Requires no special preparation (e.g. centrifugation)
For Farmers producing and/or rearing calves the routine monitoring of IgG status will identify higher risk individuals and enable management changes that will:
- Reduce the risk & incidence of neonatal disease
- Reduce time & labour treating sick calves
- Reduce antibiotic treatments
- Reduce disease related lifelong productivity impacts
- Support achievement of productivity targets
