Why Early Mastitis Detection Saves Lakhs for Pune's Dairy Farmers
Subclinical mastitis silently affects over 50% of Indian dairy herds. Most farmers don't notice until milk production drops by 20-30%. Regular culture sensitivity testing through PVD's herd health monitoring program catches the infection weeks before visible symptoms appear.

When Foot-and-Mouth Disease threatens your herd or Parvovirus hits your kennel, RT-PCR testing delivers molecular-level confirmation within 24 hours. Unlike rapid antigen tests, RT-PCR detects the virus's genetic material — meaning it catches infections even before antibodies develop.
