Test for this unwelcome guest
Inflammation of peritoneum, pleura, pericardium, meninges, lungs, and different joints are all symptoms that a pig can develop after infection with Haemophilus parasuis. To prevent these disease symptoms, it is good to address the problem at the source. Tests will be a great help. Because not all infected pigs form antibodies, it is important to provide a sufficient number of samples.
Lavetan tests with the ELISA technique and with a real-time PCR method. The ELISA technique allows us to determine the antibodies. The real-time PCR technique allows us to detect the bacteria in infected pigs. With the RT-PCR, we can also immediately detect the possible pathogens Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP).
