Protecting producer herds from contagious diseases by testing both incoming and current animals is a basic tenet of biosecurity. ImmuCell is a leader in testing products for bovine diseases such as Johne’s disease (Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis). This highly contagious, debilitating malady decreases milk production and will eventually lead to premature culling of the animal. ImmuCell has an innovative test for this condition:

An Aid to Eradication of Johne’s Disease

rjt™ is an immunodiffusion test (AGID) specifically designed to aid in the differential diagnosis of cattle with clinical Johne’s Disease. rjt™ provides the means to rapidly identify infected, symptomatic cattle in your client’s herd with 100% specificity and greater than 85% sensitivity. rjt™ is simple to perform and results are complete in just 24–48 hours. Conventional testing (fecal culture) requires a minimum of 8–12 weeks before test results can be confirmed. rjt™ can be performed in your lab working from a small serum sample.
