Mastitis, brucellosis, pregnancy and herd health for cows and buffaloes.
Copper, zinc and selenium are needed in tiny amounts, but a shortage can show up as a rough coat, slow growth and weak heat in cows and buffaloes. A blood test can help your vet see whether a herd is short.

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) and black quarter (BQ) are fast, serious diseases of cattle and buffalo that often strike in the rainy season. A vet can take samples for RT-PCR to help confirm them, but speed matters more than waiting for a report.

A bull semen evaluation looks at how many sperm a bull has, how well they move and how normal they look. Together with tests for breeding diseases, it helps a vet judge whether a bull is fit to breed.

Mastitis testing works like a ladder. A cowside CMT shows which udder quarter is inflamed, a cell count measures how much, a culture finds the germ and shows which antibiotics may work, and RT-PCR finds germs that are hard to grow.

Brucellosis is a herd disease that causes abortion in cows and buffaloes and can pass to people through birth fluids and raw milk. Blood antibody tests, a milk ring test and RT-PCR help a vet find it, and gloves and washing protect the people handling the animals.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious notifiable disease that causes fever, blisters and a fall in milk. A vet takes the samples for RT-PCR and antibody tests, and owners should tell their veterinarian or the animal husbandry department.

An antibiotic residue test looks for traces of medicine in milk, and an aflatoxin M1 test looks for a mould toxin that moulds in feed can pass into milk. Dairies ask for both, along with a bacterial count, to judge milk quality.

Ketosis happens when a dairy animal burns too much body fat for energy, most often in the weeks around calving. Blood tests for BHB and NEFA, and a milk ketone test, can help a vet find it, even before the signs are clear.

Milk fever is a sudden drop in blood calcium around calving that can leave a cow or buffalo unable to stand. A vet should be called at once, and blood tests for calcium, phosphorus and magnesium help confirm it and look for similar problems.
