What is SIV ?
Swine influenza virus (SIV) is a member of the Orthomyxoviridae family and can cause swine influenza (SI). SI is an acute respiratory disease characterized by sudden onset, coughing, dyspnea, fever and exhaustion, followed by rapid recovery or death. All pigs are susceptible and have a high incidence rate. At the same time, due to its highly specific tropism for the respiratory epithelium, the respiratory epithelial wall is damaged, leading to secondary or mixed infection of other common swine diseases
[INTENDED USE]
Swine Influenza Virus Rapid Test Kit is an in vitro, lateral flow immunoassay designed to aid in the qualitative detection of Swine Influenza (SIV) Type A virus in swine nasal samples. Positive results may be submitted to a reference lab for confirmation and subtype determination. Negative results indicate that no detectable SIV is present.

[Results judgment]
Valid Results Test is VALID if a pink/purple band (Control Line) is present in the upper part of the test strip. The absence of the Control Line indicates that the test is invalid and must be repeated (Figure 1, Step 6). Interpretation of Results
POSITIVE for Swine Influenza Virus: Two pink/purple bands (Control Line and Test Line) are clearly visible on the test strip (C & T). A POSITIVE result indicates that a detectable level of SIV is present in the sample. Positive samples can be submitted to an approved reference laboratory for confirmation and subtype determination.
NEGATIVE for Swine Influenza Virus: One pink/purple band (Control Line) is present in the upper part of the test strip (C). A NEGATIVE result indicates that no detectable SIV is present in the sample.
Very faint lines may be due to non-specific binding and should be further investigated.
[The benefits of rapid Test]
Pig colloidal gold detection reagents have great perks. Their compact design is highly portable, enabling on-site checks at farms or during transit. For swine pathogens, they're quick, like for swine flu. The easy method spots antigens fast, helping vets start prompt treatment and stop spread.
Clinically, it's invaluable. Early and accurate detection means veterinarians can swiftly isolate infected pigs, adjust feeding and management strategies, and administer targeted medications. This not only improves the survival rate of sick pigs but also curbs the large-scale outbreak of diseases, safeguarding the overall health and productivity of the pig herd.
