Diagnostic Laboratory
CDV is the only veterinary company specialized in the prevention, that also has its own diagnostic laboratory, allowing knowledge on the main disease problems which affect the cattle at a productive level, and so, it can manufacture products which meet the case studies of the region.
A stand of 240 sq.m. has three differentiated areas with cutting-edge equipment: parasitology, bacteriology, virology and serology, and molecular diagnosis (PCR).
It offers a wide range of analyses for all species of veterinary interest, specialized in the diagnosis and control of bovine reproduction diseases, including venereal diseases such as, Trichomoniasis and Campylobacteriosis.
At the forefront in the diagnosis of Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, IBR, Neosporosis and the detection of PI animals (persistently infected) for Bovine Viral Diarrhea as well as milk quality and bacteriological and physicochemical analysis of the water.
Certified as SENASA (National Service of Agri-Food Health and Quality, from Spanish Servicio Nacional de Sanidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria) Official Network Laboratory (ID LR0223) for Brucellosis and Bovine Enzootic Leukosis samples.
Personalized interpretation of the obtained results.
A multidisciplinary team of professionals specialized in processing and analyzing the samples to provide an accurate, quick, and reliable diagnosis that allows the veterinary professionals of the establishments to take preventive and/or corrective measures of therapeutic or handling nature, and to increase the productivity of the herds.
