New molecular technology helps you manage mastitis in dairy cattle.
|
Mastitis causes more than $2 billion in production losses to the U.S. dairy industry each year. Traditional mastitis testing is prone to error and slow - barriers that may prevent dairy farmers from testing as often as necesssary.
With technology proven clinically superior to traditional culturing, PathoProof identifies mastitis and its underlying causes in just 4 hours. And because PathoProof relies on DNA, the test can be performed on multiple types of milk samples, making it easier for detection.
Convenient - PathoProof removes the barriers to mastitis detection
- Can be used with fresh milk or bronopol preserved milk samples, recording samples, and bulk tank samples, eliminating the need for special sampling
- Requires no refrigeration or special handling of samples
- Detects low shedding of bacteria
Fast - PathoProof lets dairy farmers begin managing positive animals sooner
- Results in hours instead of days to weeks
- Identifies mastitis-causing pathogens for more targeted treatment
- Earlier identification and actionable results help reduce herd downtime

PCR Testing
PathoProof - The New Standard.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular technique that amplifies a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies. With PathoProof, the DNA of mastitis-causing pathogens are targeted. Because it does not rely on growing a culture in the lab, PathoProof PCR assay permits rapid identification of slow-growing microorganisms, making it a superior detection method to traditional cultures.

Accurate - PathoProof is easy-to-use and takes the guesswork out of mastitis testing
- High sensitivity, even for samples missed in culture testing
- Objective test results require no visual interpretation, helping eliminate human error
- Automated reader requires minimal training
