Veterinary Diagnostics

AssayCore Vet

AssayCore Vet serves veterinary diagnostic laboratories processing samples from companion animals, livestock, poultry, and wildlife. The system supports serology, microbiology, pathology, and molecular diagnostics workflows. Herd/flock management with outbreak tracking, zoonotic disease alerting, and regulatory reporting for OIE notifiable diseases are built in. Integration with practice management systems and livestock databases streamlines sample submission.

Pain Points We Solve

Concrete laboratory pain — quantified — and how AssayCore Vet addresses each.

Species-specific reference intervals are buried in textbooks

5-15 min/result manual lookup; high error rate on exotics

Reference-interval engine per species/age/sex with auto-flagging at result entry

Fecal egg counts (FEC) recorded on paper, not auditable

OIE / AAVLD audit findings on >40% of small labs

FEC EPG calculator with photo evidence and parasite-species pick-list

Herd-level prevalence calculated outside LIMS in spreadsheets

Outbreak response delayed 24-72 hr

Herd / flock prevalence dashboard with OIE notifiable-disease auto-alert

Veterinary AST breakpoints (CLSI VET01/03/09) differ from human; legacy LIMS use VET defaults

Misinterpretation rate 6-12%

Native CLSI VET01/03/09 breakpoint tables with species + bodysite context

Practice-management systems can't push orders into LIMS

30-60 min/day re-keying orders from Cornerstone / ImproMed

REST + HL7v2 ingestion from Cornerstone, ImproMed, AVImark

Controlled-substance reporting is manual

DEA / federal forms take 2-4 hr/week

Built-in controlled-substance log with DEA Form 222 export

ML Models in Production

Bundled CPU-only inference. Open datasets, transparent metrics, lab-tunable thresholds.

Formulas & Calculations

Calculations that actually run in AssayCore Vet — every formula links to its source standard.

Fecal Egg Count (EPG)

EPG = count × dilution_factor

WAAVP guidelines; OIE Terrestrial Manual

Herd-level prevalence

P = (n_positive / n_tested) × 100

OIE chapter 1.4; AAVLD

Apparent vs true prevalence

P_true = (P_app + Sp − 1) / (Se + Sp − 1)

Rogan-Gladen; OIE

Species reference-interval flag

flag = x < RI_low(species, age, sex) OR x > RI_high(species, age, sex)

ASVCP RI Guidelines 2012

Vet MIC interpretation (CLSI VET01)

S if MIC ≤ S_breakpoint(species, bodysite); R if MIC > R_breakpoint

CLSI VET01-S6 / VET03-A2

Body Condition Score (BCS) trend

ΔBCS = BCS_t − BCS_(t-1)

AAFP / WSAVA BCS scales

Pour-on dose (cattle)

dose_mL = body_weight_kg × dose_factor / concentration

FDA CVM dosing guidance

Why AssayCore Vet vs Competitors

Honest side-by-side. Where competitors lead we say so; where we lead, we show how.
