USING THE RIGHT TOOL TO ASSESS IgG STATUS?
ImmunIGY Bovine IgG is a new test available which can check whether a calf has sufficient IgG antibodies to support good performance, 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). A known cause of reduced health status and performance in calves.
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
- Validated to predict health and growth performance as associated with IgG status in calves up to 42 days of age.
- 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
