A big concern for livestock producers is preventing Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) on farms and ranches. Thanks to new technology, there’s now a real-time test that could get farmers answers quickly.
A company called Tetracore is announcing the licensing of its VetAlert Foot and Mouth Disease Virus Diagnostic Test Kit. It’s the first one of its kind to be licensed by USDA.
Along with getting answers quickly in the event of a FMD outbreak, the kit provides animal health professionals with a tool to help mitigate the potentially catastrophic economic and animal welfare impacts of the virus.
