Abstract
Prevention is seen as a key element in ensuring animal health aligns with correct regulatory standards. One such infectious disease is the Bovine Viral Diarrhoea. It is present worldwide, impacting financially within the beef and dairy industry. Currently, a BVD eradication programme consists of sending potentially infected samples to laboratories for analysis. This can be a time consuming process, thus enabling the opportunity of a possible disease to spread to other animals. This paper will report a microfluidic cartridge that allows electrochemical sensors to migrate from lab to field, using a straightforward, low-cost rapid prototyping method of a microfluidic system.
