Isomark: Increasing Profitability With Early Infection Detection

Isomark: Increasing Profitability With Early Infection Detection Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the single largest health issue facing beef cattle. Isomark Health’s proprietary technology uses one breath from cattle to reveal changes in their health, if they are pre-exposed to bacterial or viral infections leading to BRD. Isomark Health’s patented breath technology is unique in identifying the body’s response to infections within hours of onset, and days before symptoms show, allowing earlier treatment and faster recovery. In feedlots, breath is captured at the chute in 2 to 5 seconds. The crew is able to proceed as usual while test results are being completed. The Canary-AG™ delivers live results for point-of-care treatment decisions before animals enter the feedlot. Managers can access health reports via Isomark’s web app. In dairies, breath collection is fully automated at the robotic milker. With zero human intervention, “the cows basically test themselves.” The Canary-AG™ device provides daily health reports of every cow, so farmers can decide if early intervention is needed to reduce interruptions in milk production. Isomark’s early detection of health changes paves the way for increasing animal performance, reducing use of costly medications, and overall increasing profitability. “That’s a win-win for farmers and their herds!” says CEO Dr. Assadi-Porter.
