Home antigen test kits for Avian diseases

[2ndTink]

Has anyone used any test kits from Ringbio? They have a decent selection of avian test kits, I'm just wondering about accuracy and any experiences with them.

I have never heard of them. They don’t seem to offer tests for MG, IB, ILT, and coryza. They have the test for some others. I have always heard that pcr testing is much better than Elisa testing.

Ok, decent selection was maybe a little optimistic I'm looking into options to test for ALV, the lab PCR tests I've found run from 25+over night shipping to $300. There is one lab for less than $5/sample plus shipping, but I think that is ELISA as well.

I want to lab test 8 to 10, then if there are any positives I'd want to test every one.

Have you checked with this lab in Texas about the type of testing they do?

I talked to them yesterday, it is $20 per bird, (oops, I had $25 in my original post) and they do PCR.
