Actiphage®, a rapid, accurate test for tuberculosis that detects the presence of the live mycobacteria in a sample of blood or milk, has been awarded the Innovation Award 2021 by the British Veterinary Association (BVA).
Johne’s disease costs the Canadian dairy industry an estimated $90 million a year through loss of production. PBD Biotech has gained funding from the Canadian government to progress development of its unique Actiphage test for mycobacterial diseases to address this major economic issue.
