3D Printed Biosensors for Early Mastitis Detection
THE CHALLENGE
In order to maximize milk production, dairy producers must keep cows as healthy as possible. Mastitis is a common infection of the cow’s udder that reduces milk yield, lowers milk quality, and can result in the need to remove cows from production for extended treatment. In the early stages, the disease may not show visible symptoms,...

Graphene Biosensors for Early Ketosis Detection in Cows
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge facing dairy producers today is the lack of a reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use solution for early detection of subclinical ketosis in cows during early lactation, a period when animals are especially vulnerable due to negative energy balance. Elevated levels of beta-hydroxybutyrate or BHB in blood and milk are key...

Highly Sensitive 3D Sensors for Prevention of Hypocalcemia in Dairy Cows
THE CHALLENGE
Hypocalcemia, colloquially known as Milk Fever, is a common metabolic disorder caused by severe calcium deficiency most prevalent in dairy cows. This disorder has clinical and subclinical levels of severity, the latter often going undetected due to lack of symptoms. Without treatment, up to 60-80% of cases result in death. Further, milk...
