Answer critical questions about herd health and production

In an effort to build sustainable and nutritious food systems, investment in techniques and strategies that can help enhance herd genetics, health, and productivity is critical. From analyzing genetics for successful breeding programs to consistent animal disease surveillance, using the right tools can help make informed decisions in a timely manner.

Advances in genomic technologies have enabled researchers and livestock producers to accurately identify genetic markers associated with specific traits, such as disease resistance. By analyzing large datasets, researchers can identify genetic patterns and relationships, which can help predict future health outcomes and develop personalized nutrition plans for individual animals based on their genetic makeup and other biological data.

Enhanced disease management and surveillance


Continuous monitoring of pathogen and infection dynamics in your herd using high-throughout qPCR empowers rapid response and infection control.

Accelerate disease identification and treatment


Leveraging the capability to test many samples at once against a broad disease panel enables informed treatment decisions targeting the right pathogen.

Strengthen food safety measures


Preventing infections and controlling antimicrobial resistance and drug residues helps ensure the safety of food products.

Optimize selection of livestock breeds


Analyzing desirable traits such as growth rate, milk production and disease resistance can be cost-effective when using minimal volumes of samples and reagents.

How to detect pathogens in domestic animals quickly and accurately

Infectious diseases are not just a significant public health hazard for humans, they also pose a serious threat to the animals we raise. Respiratory and enteric diseases in particular have a profound negative impact on animal health and are of great economic importance in commercial livestock production.

Improving animal health through pathogen control can accelerate diagnosis and reduce the overuse of antibiotics, minimizing risk of resistance or cross-species transmission. High-throughput qPCR using Biomark X9 offers a faster and less expensive way to detect and diagnose disease that could also be implemented as a monitoring system aimed at disease prevention.

Understanding the genetics of successful livestock breeding

Utilizing genetic testing to identify superior breeding stock and balancing traits with other characteristics can help produce healthier and more profitable livestock. IFCs used with Biomark X9 offer the ability to look at many characteristics at once and quickly add or remove assays to more easily select animals with multiple desirable traits such as high productivity, good health, and good temperament.

Generating higher quality datasets allows improved breeding decisions based on data-driven analyses of breeding outcomes and the continuous evaluation and adjustment of breeding goals and methods to ensure continued success.
