KSVDL Fall Discount: Bovine Respiratory PCR Panels

The bacterial panel detects M. haemolytica, P. multocidia, H. somni, and B. trehalosi. The viral panel detects, BVDV, BRSV, BCoV, and IBR.

The test can be completed on either tissue (lymph node or lung) or nasal/pharyngeal swabs. Only one sample is required as a single sample can be utilized for both the viral and bacterial PCR panels. The swab must be either a sterile swab moistened with saline or a swab in viral transport media. A “gel” bacterial swab is not acceptable.

Now through the end of December, these tests are discounted 20%.

Fall discount price for either the Bacterial or Viral panel will be $38.00 and for the combined panel, $74.50.
