BVD PCR on pooled ear notches
A
PCR test for Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) on ear notches or serum, on
pools of up to 25 samples, will now be offered at the ADDL at a cost of
$25.00/pooled sample. If the pooled sample is positive, ear notches or serum
samples in that pool will be re-tested individually by antigen capture ELISA at
a cost of $3.00/individual sample. Submit individual fresh samples in 5 ml
sterile snap cap tubes, labeled with the animal identification and a completed
ADDL submission form. Specify that you are requesting the pooled BVD PCR. Samples
will be pooled at ADDL.
It
is strongly recommended that ear notchers be disinfected in 10% bleach after
each sample is collected. Do not vaccinate or tattoo animals at the same time
ear notches are taken.

Bone
marrow fat test for malnutrition
Definitive
diagnosis of animal malnutrition can be challenging. The Analytical Toxicology
section has developed a quantitative test which can help in the diagnosis of
malnutrition. |
| By measuring the amount of fat in the bone marrow and comparing
it to the normal amounts, the percentage of bone marrow fat can be determined and
be used to support necropsy diagnosis. |
