Whether used for herd health management, export certification or disease control programmes, our ruminant ELISA range delivers dependable and reproducible results to support animal health and agricultural biosecurity.
Veterinary Tests: Ruminants
Blue Tongue (BTV) Ag (Double Antibody ELISA Test) R.12.BTV.K.2
Blue Tongue Virus (BTV) Antigen Double Antibody ELISA Test is a highly reliable diagnostic method used to detect BTV antigens in livestock samples. This test plays a crucial role in identifying bluetongue disease, which affects ruminants such as sheep, cattle and goats. By using a double antibody sandwich format, the ELISA test ensures exceptional accuracy and sensitivity, making it ideal for veterinary laboratories and disease surveillance programmes. It is widely recognised as an essential tool for monitoring outbreaks and maintaining animal health standards.
Accurate detection of Blue Tongue Virus is vital for controlling disease spread and meeting international trade requirements. The ELISA technique offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to complex molecular tests, while delivering dependable results. Its straightforward procedure and compatibility with standard laboratory equipment make it suitable for large-scale testing. Regular use of this BTV antigen test supports biosecurity measures, protects livestock welfare and helps farmers comply with regulatory guidelines for disease prevention.
