Equine Breeding PCR Panel

Test code: P0024

Test name: Equine breeding PCR panel

This panel includes qualitative detection and differentiation of:

The pathogens included in this panel are responsible for many cases of poor breeding performance, low milk production and/or sexually transmitted disease in horses. PCR detection is a useful technique for quick, sensitive and specific identification of the disease-causing agent prior to breeding. The ability to detect multiple pathogens from one specimen minimizes the inconvenience and cost of collecting, handling and shipping multiple specimens.

Utilities:

  • Early prevention of the spread of listed diseases
  • Protection of valuable breeding stock
  • Confirm the pathogen causing poor breeding performance
  • Selection of the appropriate treatment regimen
  • Shorten the time required to confirm a clinical diagnosis
  • Ensure that horse populations are free of listed pathogens

Specimen requirements: Urogenital swab, cervical swab or 1 ml semen, shipped overnight at room temperature.

For specimen types other than those listed here, please call to confirm specimen acceptability and shipping instructions.

For all specimen types, if there will be a delay in shipping, or during very warm weather, refrigerate specimens until shipped and ship with a cold pack unless more stringent shipping requirements are specified. Frozen specimens should be shipped so as to remain frozen in transit. See shipping instructions for more information.

Turnaround time: 3 business days

Methodology: Qualitative PCR and qualitative real time PCR

Normal range: Nondetected
