Culture & Sensitivity Test for Birds

Culture & Sensitivity Test for Birds

Culture & Sensitivity Testing is a laboratory diagnostic service designed to identify bacterial infections in birds and determine which antibiotics are most effective against the bacteria present. Using a simple swab sample collected from the affected area, this test helps veterinarians, bird owners, breeders, and wildlife rehabilitators make informed treatment decisions and avoid the unnecessary use of ineffective antibiotics.

This test is particularly useful for investigating respiratory infections, wounds, abscesses, eye infections, skin infections, reproductive tract infections, and other bacterial disease conditions affecting birds.

By identifying both the causative bacteria and the most appropriate antimicrobial options, Culture & Sensitivity Testing supports targeted treatment plans, improved recovery outcomes, responsible antibiotic use, and better health outcomes for individual birds and aviaries.

Available as: Single bird Culture & Sensitivity testing (1 swab)
