Rapid On-Site Detection of Salmonella spp. in Pet Birds
The Pet Bird Salmonella Ag Test is a fast, reliable lateral flow immunochromatographic assay designed to detect Salmonella spp antigen in bird cloacal secretions or feces. Ideal for veterinarians, breeders, loft managers, and pet bird owners. This test provides actionable results in 5-10 minutes, helping identify carriers early and reduce the risk of flock transmission.
Why Test for Salmonella?
Salmonella is a significant pathogen in avian health. Birds may shed the bacteria without showing symptoms, making routine screening essential for preventing spread within aviaries, lofts, pet shops, and breeding facilities. Rapid antigen testing supports early intervention, improved flock management, and enhanced biosecurity.
