Ruminants continue to be important in their traditional role in agricultural. In addition,
ruminants play a vital role in the economy of poor, deprived, backward classes, and landless
labors of developing countries. To make this small ruminant-based economy viable and
sustainable, development of techniques for early and accurate diagnosis holds prime importance.
However, ruminants suffer from numerous diseases, namely, fowl cholera, atrophic rhinitis,
transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), abortion, akabane disease, bluetongue disease,
borna disease, borrelia theileri infection, botulism, bovine amyloidosis, bovine besnoitiosis,
bovine Parainfluenza-3 Virus (BPI3) infection, bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection,
bovine spongiform encephalopathy, bovine viral diarrhea, calf enteritis, enzootic pneumonia
complex, winter dysentery, campylobacteriosis, caprine arthritis encephalitis, caprine
pleuropneumonia, chlamydiosis, traveler's diarrhea, chronic wasting disease, congenital
diseases, contagious agalactia, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, cystic hydatidosis,
cysticercosis, enzootic bovine leukosis, fascioliasis, gastroenteritis, glanders, hemorrhagic
septicemia, hormone disorders, hypodermiasis, immune dysfunction, leptospirosis, lumpy skin
disease, maedi visna virus infection, mastitis, arthritis, pneumonia, nonbacterial diarrheic
disease, paratuberculosis, paratuberculosis, PESTE des petits ruminants, pneumonia, prion
associated diseases, Q fever, reproductive disease, respiratory disease, rift valley fever,
rinderpest or cattle plague, rotaviral diarrhea, salmonellosis, schmallenberg disease,
septicemia, septicemic colibacillosis, sexually transmitted infectious disease, trichomoniasis,
tuberculosis/leprosy and so on. In such scenario, the rapid and specific detection of antigens
and antibodies of these pathogens are developed by Genemedi. Detecting the quantity of marker
proteins from different samples may benefit from ELISA, Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA),
colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay, Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), turbidimetric
inhibition immuno assay (TINIA), immunonephelometry and POCT.

Diagnostics antibodies and antigens for bovines/cattle infectious and non-infectious disease testing
Cattle diseases cost millions of money losses every year. In addition to death, they cause loss
of production and frequently a loss of body condition. Unhealthy animals require more food and
take longer time for growth than healthy ones. Generally, animals are born free of diseases or
parasites. But they usually acquire these diseases either through contact with diseased animals
or due to improper sanitation, feeding, care and management. Knowledge of cattle diseases is
necessary from public health point of view also as many diseases can be transmitted to man
through milk. Keeping animals healthy by employing sound principles of sanitation, management
and feeding and by judicious use of appropriate and dependable vaccines are the practical and
economical ways to avoid losses from the disease. By proper management and feeding, the dairy
farmer can, to a great extent, prevent disease out-breaks. Cattle are infected by a community of
endemic pathogens with different epidemiological properties that invoke different managerial and
governmental responses. Genemedi developed the antigen and antibody to detect the abortion,
acute severe metritis, borna disease, borrelia theileri infection, bovine amyloidosis, bovine
besnoitiosis, bovine parainfluenza-3 virus (bpi3) infection, bovine respiratory syncytial virus
infection, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, bovine viral diarrhea, calf enteritis, chronic
endometritis, chronic wasting disease, contagious bovine pleuropneumonia, cystic hydatidosis,
cysticercosis, diarrhea, enzootic bovine leukosis, enzootic pneumonia complex, gastrointestinal
infections, hormone disorders, hypodermiasis, infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, infectious
pustular vulvovaginitis, ketosis, mastitis, arthritis and pneumonia, milk fever,
paratuberculosis, respiratory and enteric infections, respiratory syndrome, retained placenta,
rotaviral diarrhea, septicemia, severe mastitis, systemic infection in neonates, thromboembolic
meningoencepahlitis (teme), transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (tses),
tuberculosis/leprosy and so on.
Due to the physiology and structure of bovines, cattle
health issues are also unique. With their four-chambered stomachs and a surprising
susceptibility to heat, cattle require special care, monitoring and handling to maintain optimum
health and longevity. Good grassland management will ensure that cattle have access to plenty of
leafy grass that they can readily digest and will provide all of their energy requirements for
maintenance and growth. In addition, the diet must also provide small amounts of certain
essential chemical elements (trace elements). Deficiencies of any of these micronutrients can
result in ill-thrift. Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to improve your herd’s health.
Watchful ranchers can detect early signs of the most common cattle health issues, and then take
preventative measures to correct potentially detrimental conditions. Genemedi developed the
antigen and antibody to detect the non-infectious disease such as immune dysfunction, abortion
and teratology, nonbacterial diarrheic disease, Prion associated diseases (Scrapie, Bovine
Spongiform Encephalopathy, Chronical Waste Disease), winter dysentery and so on.
