Cloacal Swabs
Preferred
| Species | Poultry and other avian species |
|---|
| Sample Details | Cloacal swabs collect material from the common terminal opening of the digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts, making them highly informative for detection of enteric and systemic pathogens, particularly in poultry. They are especially useful for identifying actively shedding or carrier birds. Submission of cloacal swabs is recommended in cases of: surveillance for enteric or zoonotic pathogens, detection of carrier status in apparently healthy birds, monitoring infection spread within flocks, post-vaccination or biosecurity screening, laboratory analysis of cloacal swabs supports early pathogen detection, assessment of shedding dynamics, and implementation of effective disease control and food safety measures. |
|---|
| Ideal Volume | 10 Swabs |
|---|
| Minimum Volume | 1 Swab |
|---|
| Sample Container | Sterile swab with appropriate transport medium, Leak Proof |
|---|
| Storage & Transport | 2–8 °C, |
|---|
| Rejection Criteria | Dry swabs.
Broken or leaking container.
Improper labeling.
Contamination.
Delayed transport.
Improper storage. |
Tracheal, Oropharyngeal Swabs
| Species | Poultry |
|---|
| Sample Details | Tracheal and oropharyngeal swabs sample the upper and mid-respiratory tract, where many respiratory pathogens actively replicate and are shed. These sites are critical for early detection of viral and bacterial respiratory infections, especially during the initial phase of disease. Submission of tracheal or oropharyngeal swabs is recommended in cases of: respiratory distress, coughing, or gasping, suspected viral or bacterial respiratory disease, early outbreak investigations, monitoring of respiratory pathogen circulation in flocks or herds, laboratory analysis of these swabs enables rapid and sensitive pathogen detection, confirmation of disease etiology, and timely implementation of control, vaccination, and biosecurity measures. |

| Ideal Volume | 10 Swabs |
|---|
| Minimum Volume | 1 Swab |
|---|
| Sample Container | Sterile, Leak-proof screw cap tube |
|---|
| Storage & Transport | 2-8 ℃ |
|---|
| Rejection Criteria | Dry Swabs or without transport medium (PBS).
Leaking or Broken Container.
Samples at Room Temperature > 24 Hours.
Insufficient Volume.
Unlabeled Samples. |
Air Sacs or Lungs
| Species | Poultry and other avian species |
|---|
| Sample Details | Air sacs and lungs are important respiratory tissues for detecting bacterial, viral, and mixed respiratory infections. Their examination is recommended in cases of respiratory distress, increased mortality, air sacculitis, pneumonia, chronic respiratory disease, and respiratory disease outbreaks, supporting accurate diagnosis, assessment of disease severity, and effective treatment, vaccination, and prevention strategies.
ایئر سیکس اور پھیپھڑے سانس کی بیماریوں سے متعلق جراثیم کی تشخیص کے لیے اہم بافتے ہیں۔ ان کا معائنہ سانس لینے میں دشواری، بڑھتی ہوئی اموات، ایئر سیکیولائٹس ، نمونیا، دائمی تنفسی بیماریوں، اور تنفسی بیماریوں کے پھیلاؤ کی تحقیقات کے لیے تجویز کیا جاتا ہے۔ یہ نمونے درست تشخیص، بیماری کی شدت کے جائزے، اور مؤثر علاج، ویکسینیشن، اور روک تھام کی حکمتِ عملیوں میں مدد فراہم کرتے ہیں۔
