Cow lab tests & health packages in Bhopal
Lab tests can help your vet check a dairy cow for mastitis (udder infection), brucellosis, tick fever, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), worms, pregnancy and milk fever (low blood calcium). Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal, and samples from other districts of Madhya Pradesh can be sent by courier, bus parcel or through your vet or clinic.
A cow that gives less milk, eats less or has a fever may have a hidden health problem. A lab test can show what is happening inside the body. Some tests, such as the milk test for mastitis, can find a problem even when the milk looks normal. Tests also help with breeding and with checking the health of the whole herd.
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 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. Blood counts and tests for calcium, phosphorus and protein help check for metabolic problems, which are upsets in how the body uses minerals and nutrients.
Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal. Farmers in other districts of Madhya Pradesh can send samples by courier, bus parcel or through a local vet or clinic. 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 animal's signs and history.
Common problems
Illnesses in cows and the tests that help
Mastitis (udder infection)
Mastitis is swelling and infection of the udder, and it can lower milk yield. A milk test (CMT and somatic cell count) can help find it, even when the milk looks normal.
Brucellosis
Brucellosis is an infection that can cause abortion and poor breeding results in cows, and it can also spread to people. A test on 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, and it can cause fever, weakness, loss of appetite and less milk. A blood smear (blood looked at under a microscope) and the tick fever panel for cattle and buffalo can help detect the germs.
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)
FMD is a very contagious viral disease that causes fever, blisters in the mouth and on the feet, and less milk. PCR or ELISA tests, run on blister fluid, tissue, swabs or blood serum, can help detect the virus.
Worms and other parasites
Worms in the gut can cause weight loss, weakness and poor milk yield. A worm egg count on a fresh dung sample can help show whether worms are present.
Metabolic problems (milk fever)
Milk fever is a fall in blood calcium soon after calving, and it can leave a cow weak or unable to stand. Blood tests for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium can help your vet look into this and other metabolic problems.
Check-up guide
When to test a cow
Calf
Vets often consider a worm egg count on dung, a blood smear and a CBC (complete blood count) when a calf is weak, has loose motions or is not growing well. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Milking cow
Vets often consider a milk test for mastitis, 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 after an abortion or when a cow does not conceive. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Around calving
Vets often consider blood calcium, phosphorus and magnesium tests if a cow is weak or not eating soon after calving. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.

Cow test questions
How is mastitis tested in cows?
A fresh milk sample, taken separately from each quarter of the udder, is tested with the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and a somatic cell count. A high count may indicate udder infection. Your vet reads the result with the cow's signs and may suggest further tests.
Which test finds tick fever in cattle?
The tick fever panel for cattle and buffaloes can help detect theileriosis, babesiosis and anaplasmosis. It uses a whole blood sample and a blood smear. A registered vet reads the result with the animal's signs, such as fever, weakness and a drop in milk.
Can I screen my dairy herd for common diseases?
Yes. The lab has a herd screening pack that groups tests for brucellosis, FMD, tick fever and worms. The samples needed depend on the test, such as blood, dung or blister fluid. The reporting time is confirmed when you book, and a registered vet reads the results with the animals' signs.
Which blood tests help if a cow is weak after calving?
Blood tests for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium can help your vet check for metabolic problems such as milk fever, which is a fall in blood calcium after calving. A CBC may also be done. Please call a registered vet quickly for a cow that cannot stand.
How can I send a cow's sample from another district?
You can send the sample to the Bhopal lab by courier, bus parcel or through your local vet or clinic. Call or WhatsApp +91 88175 01118 first, so the lab can tell you which sample your test needs. Free sample collection is available anywhere in Bhopal.
