BioCifer’s rapid animal health and agricultural disease testing will solve the uncertainty experienced by livestock holders, farmers, producers and communities right around the world which can all be impacted by animal disease.
Improved disease management tools and strategies will reduce loss and improve yields, while providing higher quality and safer environments for communities.
Pig disease testing
Pig pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli and Rotavirus present significant challenges to herd health and farm productivity. These diseases can increase mortality, reduce weight gain, and lead to higher feed costs for the producers. Biocifer’s rapid molecular testing enables on-farm detection in under 60 minutes, providing a practical tool to reduce disease losses and improve production outcomes. – More information
