Zoetis has launched a point-of-care diagnostic blood test that provides vets with information related to equine inflammation in 10 minutes.
The Stablelab hand-held reader detects and quantifies the biomarker serum amyloid A (SAA) – a major, acute phase protein produced by the liver that rapidly and dramatically increases in response to inflammation.
By measuring SAA, vets can assess the severity of an infection more quickly – often before clinical symptoms start – and are able to monitor the horse’s response over the course of treatment.
