PCR tests are one of the molecular diagnostic methods that detect the genetic material of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens causing disease with a high degree of sensitivity. By identifying infectious agents at the DNA or RNA level, these analyses help to diagnose diseases reliably at an early stage.

In the field of animal health, PCR tests play a significant role in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, the confirmation of disease-causing agents and the assessment of potential risks of spread within a herd. They are one of the preferred and reliable analytical methods, particularly in situations where clinical symptoms have only just begun or where the disease needs to be detected rapidly, due to their high sensitivity.

Early and accurate diagnosis is of great importance both for the protection of animal health and for the sustainability of productivity on farms. Thanks to PCR tests, pathogens can be detected quickly, necessary measures can be taken in good time, and herd health can be managed more effectively.
