Farm Animal Practice IgG Testing for Camelids & Cattle

We provide same day results, either on farm or from sample submission, to our practice for failure of passive transfer in both camelids and cattle.

Failure of passive transfer occurs when neonates (cria/calves) fail to take in adequate colostrum of a good quality to enable adequate antibody levels to fight infection. These animals fail to thrive and it can result in death.

Our portable machine allows our vets to give you a same day result informing you of your animal’s antibody levels and allowing you to know if a plasma transfusion is required.
