Cortisol testing is vital for diagnosing adrenal disorders like Cushing’s (hyperadrenocorticism) and Addison’s (hypoadrenocorticism) in dogs and cats. It assesses stress response and hormonal imbalances, aiding in detecting chronic illnesses, metabolic issues, or unexplained symptoms (e.g., lethargy, weight changes). Our lab introduces this test in Nepal, enabling accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Pregnancy diagnosis in cows, sheep, and goats by diagnosing Pregnancy-Associated Glycoproteins (PAGs) via ELISA from blood/serum is vital for efficient livestock management. It ensures early, accurate detection (post 28-35 days), enabling proper nutrition, health care, and breeding planning. ELISA-based PAG testing is non-invasive, reliable, and reduces economic losses by preventing empty feeding and optimizing calving/lambing/kidding intervals.

गाई, भेंडा, र बाख्राको रगत/सीरमबाट **गर्भावस्था सम्बन्धित ग्लाइकोप्रोटिन (PAGs)** को **ELISA विधि** द्वारा गर्भावस्था निदान महत्त्वपूर्ण छ। यसले प्रारम्भिक (२८-३५ दिनपछि) र सही नतिजा दिन्छ, जसले उचित पोषण, स्वास्थ्य व्यवस्था, र प्रजनन योजनालाई सहज बनाउँछ। ELISA आधारित PAG परीक्षण नन-इन्भेसिभ, विश्वसनीय छ र खाली पेट पालन घटाएर आर्थिक नोक्सानी कम गर्छ। यसले उत्पादकत्व बढाउँदै कृषकको आम्दानी र पशु स्वास्थ्यलाई सहयोग गर्छ, स्थायी पशुपालन प्रवर्द्धन गर्छ।

The fructosamine test is vital in managing canine diabetes by assessing average blood glucose levels over 2-3 weeks, offering a stable indicator unaffected by daily fluctuations. Unlike HbA1c (less reliable in dogs due to shorter RBC lifespan), it aids in evaluating glycemic control without the stress of repeated blood draws required for glucose curves. This test helps adjust insulin doses, especially when home monitoring is challenging, and distinguishes chronic hyperglycemia from stress-induced spikes (e.g., normal fructosamine with transient glucose elevation).

Hematology and biochemistry play a critical role in diagnosing and managing blood parasite infestations like Ehrlichia and Anaplasma in dogs.
Detection of Cytopenias:

Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) is a hallmark of Ehrlichia canis and Anaplasma platys infections.

Anemia may occur due to chronic infection or immune-mediated hemolysis.

Leukopenia or leukocytosis may be seen, depending on the infection stage.

Blood Smear Examination:

Direct visualization of morulae (clusters of bacteria) inside monocytes (Ehrlichia) or neutrophils (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) can confirm diagnosis.

The genesig DNA extraction kits are designed for rapid and efficient extraction of DNA suitable for downstream applications like PCR.

The SDMA (Symmetric Dimethylarginine) test is an important diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine for assessing kidney function in dogs and cats. It has gained significance because of its greater sensitivity compared to the traditional creatinine test.

Importance of SDMA Test:
Early Detection of Kidney Disease:

SDMA can detect kidney dysfunction when up to 25–40% of kidney function is lost.

Creatinine levels usually rise only after 65–75% of kidney function is compromised.

Less Influence from Muscle Mass:

SDMA levels are not significantly affected by muscle mass, making it more reliable in thin, elderly, or cachectic animals.

Creatinine levels depend on muscle mass, which can lead to underestimation of kidney disease in underweight or geriatric patients.

Useful in Monitoring Chronic Kidney Disease .

Microscopic examination of a dog's urine reveals crucial details!
Bacteria may appear rod-shaped (bacilli) or round (cocci), and their motility—whether they move or stay still—helps identify infections.
Spotting bacteria early under the microscope is vital to diagnose urinary tract infections, guide proper treatment, and protect kidney health.

Types of Urine Crystals in dogs
Calcium Oxalate : Most common; forms in acidic urine due to high oxalate intake, dehydration, or hypercalciuria.

Uric Acid: Associated with low urine pH, gout, or purine-rich diets.

- **Cystine:** Rare, caused by genetic cystinuria, leading to excessive cystine excretion.

Antimicrobial sensitivity testing is crucial in poultry farming to identify the most effective antibiotics against bacterial infections like E. coli and Salmonella. These diseases cause huge economic losses due to mortality, reduced growth, and treatment failure. By spending a small amount on laboratory testing, farmers can choose the right medicine, ensuring faster recovery, lower costs, and preventing antibiotic resistance. Investing a little in testing saves a lot in the long run.

कुखुरापालनमा एन्टिमाइक्रोबियल संवेदनशीलता परीक्षण अत्यन्त आवश्यक छ, किनभने यसले ई.कोलाई र साल्मोनेला जस्ता ब्याक्टेरियल रोगहरूमा सबैभन्दा प्रभावकारी औषधि पहिचान गर्न मद्दत गर्छ। यस्ता रोगहरूले मृत्यु, वृद्धि अवरोध, र उपचार असफलताबाट ठूलो आर्थिक नोक्सानी पुर्‍याउँछन्। सानो खर्चमा प्रयोगशालामा परीक्षण गराउँदा सही औषधि छनोट गर्न सकिन्छ, जसले छिटो निको पार्न, लागत घटाउन र एन्टिबायोटिक प्रतिरोध रोक्न मद्दत गर्छ। थोरै खर्चले दीर्घकालीन रूपमा धेरै बचत गर्न सकिन्छ।

The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy, and overall health. In dogs, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is common, while cats often suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce enough hormones. Common in middle-aged dogs (rare in cats), it is often caused by autoimmune destruction of the gland. Symptoms include:
- Weight gain despite normal appetite
- Lethargy and cold intolerance
- Hair loss, dry skin, or infections
- Muscle weakness
Diagnosis involves blood tests (e.g., T4, TSH

**कुकुर र बिरालोमा थाइरोइड परीक्षणको महत्व**
थाइरोइड परीक्षणले पाल्तु जनावरहरूमा थाइरोइड सम्बन्धी रोग निदान र उपचारमा महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्छ। थाइरोइड ग्रन्थिले शरीरको चयापचय, ऊर्जा र समग्र स्वास्थ्य नियन्त्रण गर्छ। कुकुरहरूमा **हाइपोथाइरोइडिजम** (थाइरोइड कमजोर हुनु) बढी देखिन्छ भने बिरालोहरूमा **हाइपरथाइरोइडिजम** (थाइरोइड बढी सक्रिय हुनु) प्रायः हुन्छ। थाइरोइड परीक्षणबाट समयमै रोग पत्ता लगाउनाले:

**लक्षणहरूको निदान**: वजन बढ्नु, थकान, छालाको समस्या, वा व्यवहार परिवर्तन।

हाइपोथाइरोइडिजम भनेको थाइरोइड ग्रन्थिले पर्याप्त हर्मोन उत्पादन नगरेको अवस्था हो। यो प्रायः मध्यउमेरका कुकुरहरूमा देखिन्छ (बिरालोमा दुर्लभ)। यसको मुख्य कारण थाइरोइड ग्रन्थिको प्रतिरक्षा प्रणालीले नष्ट गर्नु हो।
