Surveillance Testing

Routine, planned testing of a flock or population to detect infection early, rather than testing only once clinical signs appear. The Alveo Sense Poultry Avian Influenza Test detects Type A virus in both symptomatic and asymptomatic chickens, which supports routine monitoring programs. Dead bird monitoring is a key early detection method, and the earliest detection generally follows the highest testing frequency. Testing frequency should follow local and national authority guidelines.
