Diagnostic Tests and Services:

• Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) PI Tests - BVD PI (persistently infected) animals show up in 10% of all herds. Infected animals typically show no visible signs of illness but will continue to shed the virus at a very high rate throughout their lives
  
  API, Inc. uses the industry's latest and most effective analytical methods such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Antigen Capture ELISA providing 99% accuracy and next business-day results. API also provides follow-up testing on all positive animals.
• Bovine Leukosis Virus (BLV) Test - BLV, affecting 88.5% of dairy herds and 38.7% of beef herds in the United States, is the number one cause of condemnation at slaughter facilities. The virus has also caused the demise of many A.I. sires, resulting in the inability to sell breeding stock.
  
  API, Inc. uses an ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for the detection of antibody to BLV. It is very accurate on either milk or serum. Test negative cows are BLV free.
• Chute-side SNAP® BVD Test - The Chute-side SNAP® BVD test helps identify BVD-infected cattle in just 20 minutes, allowing for fast, easy and accurate testing for the detection of BVD. Ideal to have available for those times when you need an answer quickly to protect your herd.
• EarlyPreg28 Pregnancy Test - EarlyPreg28 is a blood-based pregnancy test designed to detect pregnancy in cattle as early as 28 days post-insemination without invasive palpation.
  
  EarlyPreg28 offers cattle operations the unique opportunity to detect pregnancy earlier and with greater accuracy relative to traditional pregnancy testing methods while also eliminating risk to the fetus due to palpation or ultrasound trauma. Additionally, the test provides producers and operators further time flexibility, allowing them to test for pregnancy on their own schedules.
• Johne's Disease Test - The bacteria known to cause Johne's Disease affects 68.1% of U.S. dairy operations and 8% of U.S. beef herds. Lost productivity due to Johne's Disease alone is estimated to cost the U.S. dairy industry $200-$250 million annually.
  
  API, Inc. is an APHIS-Approved Laboratory for Johne's Disease testing and uses a USDA approved ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for the detection of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis-specific antibodies in serum or milk of cattle.
• Animal Performance Index - Proprietary cattle profiling test used to provide the early detection of animals at-risk for Bovine Respiratory Disease. Information received also gives insight to antibiotic needs for an animal and more. Use to select low-risk animals to enter a natural beef program to maximize profit potential or target high-risk animals that need special attention to avoid death loss.
