Kalayjian Industries is your partner for navigating the Avian Influenza Virus Type A (H5N1, HPAI) and Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD)
Per the AVMA, Avian Influenza Virus Type A (H5N1) has been found in U.S. dairy cattle. This highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was identified in U.S. dairy cattle for the first time in March 2024.
Laboratory testing is recommended if there is a need to confirm bird flu exposure or potential infection. Swab calves with runny eyes or nasal discharge, and have your veterinarian perform a lung ultrasound for calves with mild coughs.
When you do the same task day after day, month after month, it’s easy to overlook the small signs of a bigger problem, especially when it comes to Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). Working with your veterinarian to perform diagnostics can give you a better idea of the specific pathogens involved in any disease outbreak.
The KI-3350 Guarded Culture Instrument with a poly swab was created for BRD testing. This product has been developed and used in a BRD study involving UC Davis, Texas A&M, Washing State University, New Mexico State University and Colorado State University.
The most accurate method for detecting the presence of avian influenza virus in animals is Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Testing. Nasal swabs and throat swabs from Kalayjian Industries (KI-3000, KI-3350 and KI-650) are the industry standard for PCR Testing on mammals. These swab tests are collected and sent to a veterinary diagnostic laboratory to test for the presence of the virus.
A more complex process that is typically used for research and confirmation purposes is Virus Isolation Testing. This involves culturing samples from the animal (using nasal swabs, throat swabs, or tissues <these link to these products: KI-3000, KI-3350 and KI-650> in an effort to isolate the virus.
