STRESS AND INFLAMMATION BIOMARKER URINE PANEL FOR DAIRY COWS AND BEEF CATTLE

摘要

A panel for monitoring levels of biomarkers in ruminants, including an assay having at least one inflammation monitoring test, at least one oxidative stress monitoring test, and at least one antioxidant activity monitoring test. A method of monitoring the health of ruminants, by collecting a sample from the ruminant, applying the sample to an assay panel, performing at least one inflammation monitoring test, at least one oxidative stress monitoring test, and at least one antioxidant activity monitoring test in the panel, and determining levels of biomarkers related to inflammation, oxidative stress, and antioxidant activity and therefore providing information regarding the ruminant's relative health and/or risk of developing one or more diseases.
