DHI Lab Quality Certification now includes Johne’s ELISA testing The National DHIA board of directors recently accepted standard guidelines and procedures for ELISA testing in DHI laboratories. This action makes ELISA testing part of the Quality Certification Services audit which all DHI laboratories participate in annually. Along with AntelBio, eight DHI labs across the U.S. and Canada currently perform Johne’s ELISA testing for their members. “A formal quality assurance program will provide greater consistency in testing procedures,” stated Todd Byrem, Ph.D., Director of AntelBio. “By incorporating guidelines and procedures for ELISA testing into their program, National DHIA will be able to quickly adopt and implement new testing programs as they become available.” AntelBios’ research has proven much can be learned about the health and condition of dairy cows through ELISA analysis of DHI milk samples. The recently implemented guidelines and procedures also allow for the use of other ELISA tests such as leukosis, BVD and progesterone. All DHI laboratories running the Milk ELISA test for Johne’s will implement the standard guidelines and procedures beginning January 1, 2008. |
