摘要: With expanding global population, there is now an urgent need to produce more food, efficiently with the available existing finite resources. Concerning dairy production, bovine diseases negatively impact animal welfare, while decreasing farm efficiency and profitability through wasted feed, reduced milk production increased veterinary costs. New digital technologies that provide veterinarians immediate test results on-farm will enable early clinical interventions, thereby ensuring food security reduce loses. To address this challenge, we present impedimetric biosensor platform enables rapid identification of immunoglobulin G Liver Fluke antibodies in complex blood plasma time result 15 mins.
