Ark Quatro Detection Kit

If a pattern of scouring calves becomes evident on the farm (3 or 4 calves around the same time presenting with the same symptoms), it is time to identify what is causing this problem.

“Over the past number of years I have had a problem with calf scour, following my use of the Ark Quatro Detection Kit, I tested positive for Escherichia coli K99. Following this I used the Ark Ore Lyte capsule program which worked really well for me.”
Gerard Mulvihill, Co. Kerry

 

“We didn’t always have Cryptosporidium problems but once they arrived – boy did we know all about it! Our calves not only had bad scour but stopped thriving. Their growth was checked and they never regained that ground.  As heifers, they were smaller in stature, took longer to reach maturity and were more prone to other infections.  Now, as they enter the parlour, we find their milk production is also back from where it should be.

Cryptosporidium was not something we could ignore.

Having discovered the source of the problem (Thanks to the Ark Quattro Kit) we found that there were limited solutions.  None of the detergents and most of the disinfectants on the market had absolutely no effect on Crypto.  There was the option of a vet prescription that would have to be administered twice to every calf born on the farm for as long as we continued to have calves…or Kenocox.”

Description

Scour is the most serious health issue in calves under 1 month old. ARK Quatro identifies the 4 most common causes of scour. A scour outbreak in calves can cause huge financial losses and requires a coordinated response to tackle effectively.

Ark Quatro will identify the 4 main causes of scour in 20 mins, allowing you to make the right decisions on control and prevention;

  • EColi: Often appears in the first four days of life and causes a watery scour usually accompanied by a sick or collapsed calf.
  • Rotavirus & Coronavirus: Often appears from 1 week old and causes a yellow pasty scour and a slightly dull to very sick calf.
  • Cryptosporidium: Often appears from 1 week old and causes a chronic watery scour. Calves get very weak and dehydrated.
