Veterinary assay kit SVANOVIR F.hepatica-Ab

Distomiasisfor cattlegoat

Product Overview
The SVANOVIR F.hepatica-Ab is an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) designed for the detection of Fasciola hepatica (F. hepatica) specific antibodies in bovine serum/plasma, meat juice, and milk samples (both individual and bulk tank milk). This assay is based on the E/S protein and is validated for use in dairy and beef cattle, enabling the identification of herds and individuals with infection levels above acceptable thresholds.

Features and Benefits

• Enables identification of F. hepatica specific antibodies during and after infection.
• Provides reliable results and detects infections before standard testing methods, thanks to E/S protein-based analysis that identifies antibodies in immature parasite stages and subclinical disease states.
• Allows monitoring at various stages of production on the farm, dairy, or slaughterhouse, and can be used for herds or large numbers of individual animals through milk, serum, and meat juice testing.
• Now includes a ready-to-use conjugate for improved convenience.
