What is Ruminant Diagnostics: Emerging and Classical Approaches to Individuals and Populations about?

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. In the meantime, classical approaches, such as culture and serology, remain critical methods of disease investigation and risk management. The partnership between laboratorians, clinicians, and producers in utilizing diagnostics is becoming ever more important as a mix of new and classical diagnostic methodologies provides increased diagnostic sensitivity as well as result interpretation challenges. In ruminant medicine, clinicians are tasked with not only making a diagnosis regarding the health condition of indiv
