Equine breeding PCR panel
equine assay data sheet
Equine
breeding/abortion PCR panel
NOTE: THIS PANEL IS NOT PERFORMED
ON SAMPLES TAKEN FROM EQUINES OWNED OR LOCATED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
Test code:
P0024 -
Equine breeding PCR panel includes qualitative detection and
differentiation of:
Pathogens included in this panel are responsible for many cases of
poor breeding performance, abortion, 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. 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
-
Help confirm the pathogen causing poor breeding performance
-
Selection of the appropriate treatment regimen
-
Shorten the time required to confirm a clinical
diagnosis
-
Help ensure that horse populations are free of listed
pathogens
Specimen
requirements:
Urogenital swab, cervical swab, aborted fetus swab, or 0.2 ml semen.
Contact Zoologix if advice is needed to determine an appropriate specimen type for a specific diagnostic application. For specimen types not listed here, please contact Zoologix 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.
