Ruminant Diagnostics: Emerging and Classical Approaches to Individuals and Populations

Making a diagnosis is principal to medicine and precedes all other medical acts. Diagnostic testing is a critically important tool to help veterinarians diagnose disease or other medical conditions in clinical and population medicine. Livestock producers and veterinarians depend on accurate diagnostic information to explain clinical signs, rule at-risk diseases in or out, inform treatment and prevention strategies, provide a prognosis, and ultimately improve animal health and well-being. New methods and techniques, such as PCR, sequencing, and mass spectrometry, have revolutionized the amount and types of information that are available to clinicians on diagnostic reports.
