ImmunIGY Test: Revolutionizing Calf Health Across the Supply Chain

Back to news

We are thrilled to announce that the ImmunIGY consortium, including SOMA Bioscience, Synergy Farm Health and Buitelaar Group and sales distributor partner Bimeda Animal Health, has been named a finalist for the groundbreaking ImmunIGY test! Developed at our Long Lane Development Farm, ImmunIGY represents a major leap forward in calf health and sustainability.

A Game-Changer for Dairy Farmers and Beef Finishers

The ImmunIGY test is a revolutionary on-farm tool that allows farmers to measure the levels of immunoglobulin (IgG) in calves’ blood, ensuring they receive the critical immunity needed from colostrum. This simple, rapid test can be administered on the farm during the first week of life or upon entry to the rearing unit, making it an invaluable asset for dairy farmers, rearers, and beef finishers alike.

Driving Better Outcomes Across the Supply Chain

With the ImmunIGY test, farmers can identify calves with inadequate passive immunity early on, reducing the risk of disease and improving overall health and productivity. This test also allows for better management practices, with the potential to provide premium rewards for supplying farms and optimize calf management strategies based on individual test results.

A Sustainable Future with the ImmunIGY Consortium

By enabling early detection of suboptimal calves, the ImmunIGY test helps reduce the need for antibiotics, contributing to more sustainable farming practices. The ImmunIGY consortium, with Bimeda Animal Health holding the global sales and distribution rights, is committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the livestock sector.
