Free sample collection anywhere in Bhopal
Lab tests can help your vet find out why a horse is unwell, check the liver and kidneys, and look for tick fever, surra, strangles and other infections. Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal, and owners in other districts can send samples by courier, bus parcel or through their vet.
A horse can hide illness until it is quite unwell. A vet may ask for lab tests when a horse has fever, a poor appetite, weight loss, weakness, pale or yellow gums, a nasal discharge or swellings under the jaw. Tests are also used for regular health checks, before a horse is bought or sold, and before it travels.
The lab lists blood counts, liver and kidney tests, blood sugar, muscle enzyme and mineral tests, urine and dung tests, and blood parasite smears for horses. Serology (blood tests that look for the body's reaction to a germ) and RT-PCR (real-time PCR, tests that look for the germ's genetic material) can help detect diseases such as equine infectious anaemia (EIA), glanders, strangles, equine influenza, tick fever and surra. Some of these diseases are notifiable, so owners should tell their veterinarian or the animal husbandry department. Hormone tests such as progesterone and thyroxine (T4), and the foal IgG test, support breeding and foal care.
Sample collection is free anywhere in Bhopal. Owners 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 RT-PCR, serology and other special tests, the reporting time is confirmed when you book. Reports reach you on WhatsApp or email and in My Reports on this website. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with the horse's signs and history.
Common problems
EIA is a viral disease of horses spread by biting flies and by shared needles or equipment. Signs can include fever, weakness and anaemia, but some horses look healthy. The Coggins (AGID) blood test looks for antibodies to the virus. EIA is notifiable, so owners should tell their veterinarian or the animal husbandry department.
Glanders is a serious bacterial disease that can pass to people. It can cause nasal discharge, skin nodules and sores, and cough. Blood tests can help detect it. It is notifiable, so owners should tell their veterinarian or the animal husbandry department, and should wash hands and wear gloves when handling a sick horse.
Tick fever in horses is a blood infection spread by ticks. It can cause fever, weakness and pale or yellow gums. A blood parasite smear (blood looked at under a microscope), an RT-PCR test and a CBC can help your vet find it.
Surra is a blood infection caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma evansi, spread by biting flies. Signs may include fever that comes and goes, weight loss, weakness and swollen legs. A blood smear, an antibody test or an RT-PCR test can help detect it.
Strangles is a contagious bacterial infection that causes fever, nasal discharge and swollen glands under the jaw. A nasal swab or pus sample tested by RT-PCR or culture can help find the germ.
Worms in the gut can cause weight loss, a dull coat and poor condition. A worm egg count on a fresh dung sample can help show whether worms are present.
Check-up guide
Vets often consider a CBC and a foal IgG test soon after birth to check that the foal has taken in enough antibodies from the mare's first milk, and a dung egg count for worms later. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Vets often consider a CBC, liver, kidney and muscle enzyme tests, a blood parasite smear and a dung egg count as part of a yearly health check. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Vets often consider a progesterone test to help plan breeding, along with a CBC and screening for infections before breeding. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Vets often consider a CBC, liver and kidney tests, and disease screening such as EIA and glanders tests, because some buyers, events and authorities ask for these results. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
Vets often consider kidney, liver, blood sugar and thyroid (T4) tests, along with a CBC and a urine test, because long-term illness becomes more common with age. Ask your vet what is right for your animal.
