Agriculture 4.0: Development of Seriological on-Farm Immunosensor for Animal Health Applications

With expanding global population, there is now an urgent need to produce more food, more 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 and increased veterinary costs. New digital technologies that provide veterinarians with immediate test results on-farm will enable early clinical interventions, thereby ensuring food security and reduce loses. To address this challenge, we present an impedimetric biosensor platform that enables rapid identification of bovine immunoglobulin G and bovine Liver Fluke antibodies in complex blood plasma with time to result of 15 mins.
