The Negros Occidental Provincial Veterinary Office is currently equipped with enzyme link immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which will provide for rapid testing on livestock and poultry.
ELISA uses the dry method rapid test kit that can determine the status of an animals’ immune system.
The tests are available at the Provincial Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, where chickens can be tested for Newcastle disease, bronchitis, and bursal disease; while cattle can be tested on brucellosis./WDJ
