Buffalo lab tests & health packages in Bhopal
Lab tests can help a buffalo farmer and vet find mastitis (udder infection), brucellosis, tick fever, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and worms, and check for pregnancy. Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal, and farmers in other districts of Madhya Pradesh can send samples by courier, bus parcel or through their vet or clinic.
A buffalo that gives less milk, eats less or has a fever may have a hidden health problem. Heat signs in buffaloes can be weak or easy to miss, so blood tests can give your vet extra information about breeding. Some tests, such as the milk test for mastitis, can find a problem even when the milk looks normal.
The lab tests fresh milk with the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and a somatic cell count, which counts the body cells in milk. It also does brucellosis tests, tick fever tests, FMD tests, pregnancy and progesterone blood tests and worm egg counts on dung. PCR and ELISA are lab tests that look for the germ or the body's reaction to it. A blood count and tests for calcium, phosphorus and protein help check the general health of a milking buffalo.
Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal. Farmers in other districts of Madhya Pradesh can send samples by courier, bus parcel or through their local vet or clinic, and the lab coordinates by phone or WhatsApp. Routine tests are normally reported the same day or within 24 hours. For PCR, ELISA and other special tests, the reporting time is confirmed when you book. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with the buffalo's signs and history.
Common problems
Illnesses in buffaloes and the tests that help
Mastitis (udder infection)
Mastitis is infection and swelling of the udder. Hidden mastitis does not change how the milk looks, but a milk test (CMT and somatic cell count) taken from each quarter of the udder can help find it.
Brucellosis
Brucellosis is an infection that can cause abortion in buffaloes, and it can also spread to people. A test on blood serum, the clear part of the blood, using the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) or ELISA can help detect it.
Tick fever (theileriosis, babesiosis, anaplasmosis)
Tick fever is a group of blood infections spread by ticks that can cause fever, weakness and less milk. A whole blood sample with a blood smear (blood looked at under a microscope) can help the lab detect the germs.
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)
FMD is a very contagious viral disease with fever, blisters in the mouth and on the feet, and a fall in milk. PCR or ELISA tests can help detect the virus, using samples such as blister fluid, tissue or serum.
Breeding and heat problems
Weak or missed heat signs, and animals that do not conceive, can delay breeding. A pregnancy blood test (progesterone / PSPB) and a brucellosis test can give your vet more information.
Worms and other parasites
Worms in the gut can slow a calf's growth and cause weight loss and weakness in adults. A worm egg count on a fresh dung sample can help show whether worms are present.
Check-up guide
When to test a buffalo
Buffalo calf
Vets often consider a worm egg count on dung and a CBC (complete blood count) when a buffalo calf is weak, has loose motions or is not growing well. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Milking buffalo
Vets often consider a milk test for mastitis (CMT and somatic cell count), a CBC, a blood smear for tick fever, and calcium, phosphorus and protein tests as part of a herd health check. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Breeding and pregnancy
Vets often consider a pregnancy blood test (progesterone / PSPB) and a brucellosis test, especially when heat signs are weak or an animal does not conceive. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
After calving
Vets often consider blood calcium, phosphorus and magnesium tests if a buffalo is weak or not eating soon after calving. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.

Buffalo test questions
Can the lab test buffalo milk for mastitis?
Yes. Fresh milk from each quarter of the udder can be tested with the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and a somatic cell count. A high count may indicate udder infection, even when the milk looks normal. Your vet reads the result with the buffalo's signs and may suggest further tests.
Can a blood test check pregnancy in a buffalo?
A blood test can help check pregnancy in a buffalo, and the lab has one (progesterone / PSPB) that runs on serum, the clear part of the blood. Your vet reads the result with the breeding dates and other checks, which matters because heat signs in buffaloes can be weak.
Which test finds brucellosis in a buffalo?
A test on blood serum, either RBPT or ELISA, can help detect brucellosis. It is commonly used when buffaloes abort or do not conceive. Brucellosis can also spread to people, so a registered vet should read the result and advise on next steps.
How is FMD tested in buffaloes?
FMD can be tested by PCR on blister fluid, tissue or a swab, or by ELISA on blood serum. Your vet will say which sample suits your animal. The reporting time for FMD tests is confirmed when you book, and a registered vet reads the result with the animal's signs.
Is sample collection free for buffaloes in Bhopal?
Yes. Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal. Farmers in other districts of Madhya Pradesh can send samples to the Bhopal lab by courier, bus parcel or through their local vet or clinic. Call or WhatsApp +91 88175 01118 first so the lab can guide you.
