Eurofins DQCI Now Offers Avian Influenza Test for Dairy Industry
November 13, 2024 – Eurofins DQCI and Eurofins Microbiology Laboratories, Inc. are excited to announce the launch of an innovative new test for Avian Influenza A) in raw milk, designed to safeguard dairy herds and ensure the health and safety of milk production. This test offers dairy farmers and processors a crucial tool to detect and manage avian flu outbreaks efficiently.
Avian flu, commonly found in migratory birds, can impact birds on farms and occasionally other animals, including dairy cows. Recent outbreaks have highlighted the need for effective detection and management tools in the dairy industry.
With avian flu present in multiple states in the US, proactive testing is essential. Our test supports dairy farmers by providing critical information, allowing them to maintain consumer confidence in dairy products.
Our test targets bulk tank samples, providing a comprehensive picture of herd health without individual cow sampling. This method ensures rapid detection, helping farmers manage the virus's presence and prevent widespread outbreaks. The test also mitigates risks to workers in milking parlors, ensuring a safer environment.
“We are committed to helping the dairy industry navigate the challenges posed by avian flu,” said Dino Holmquist, Chief Scientific Officer, DQCI. “Our new test offers a reliable and efficient way to detect and manage the virus, ensuring herd health and product safety.”
