Description
Detects the Big 4 Scour Pathogens Simultaneously
Mixed co-infections are extremely common in farm conditions, a calf can easily harbor both a virus and a parasite at the same time. The Kerbl rapid lateral flow cassette tests a single fecal sample against all four primary economic scour agents concurrently:
-
Rotavirus (Most common viral cause of scours in 5–14 day old calves)
-
Coronavirus (Severe viral damage targeting calves 7–21 days old)
-
E. coli K99 (Hyper-acute bacterial scours affecting calves under 5 days old)
-
Cryptosporidium parvum (Resilient protozoan parasite affecting calves 7–21 days old)
