Special Instructions | This profile is designed for herd level investigation and monitoring of management and/or nutritional driven risk factors for disease or suboptimal performance in dry dairy cattle. It is designed for groups of 10-15 clinically normal dry heifers or cows. Groups of heifers should be evaluated separately from groups of cows. The test groups can be spilt into close-up dry and far-off dry cattle if requested and properly identified on submission. This test requires a minimum of 8 samples on a single accession. A reference mean spreadsheet will not be generated for group submissions with fewer than 10 samples. The Chemistry Profile-Ruminant, Electrolyte & Macromineral Profile, Energy Profile, or Liver Profile should be utilized on clinically abnormal individual animals. Turnaround times may vary on large submissions. | ||||||
