Delta Livestock Diagnostics Announces Updated Pricing and Expanded Testing Flexibility for Livestock Producers
October 21, 2026 | Delta Livestock Diagnostics
Delta Livestock Diagnostics (DLD) is pleased to announce updated pricing and testing schedules for its cattle, goat, and sheep diagnostic services. These changes are designed to provide more competitive pricing, simplify sample submissions, and offer greater flexibility for livestock producers and veterinarians.
More Competitive Pricing for Livestock Testing
DLD has reduced pricing on select diagnostic services, including goat and sheep biosecurity and pregnancy testing, as well as cattle biosecurity testing.
With the fall breeding season underway, these updated prices aim to make routine reproductive and herd health testing more accessible and affordable for producers.
Simplified Pricing with No Additional Setup Fees
DLD has also eliminated separate setup fees for PCR and bovine biosecurity ELISA testing, replacing them with a minimum sample charge for certain tests. The updated minimum sample policy is as follows:,
- PCR testing: Minimum charge equivalent to four samples per individual test.
- Bovine biosecurity ELISA: Four-sample minimum for BLV, Neospora, and Anaplasmosis testing.
- BVDV antigen ELISA: Three-sample minimum.
- Pregnancy and Johne’s ELISA: No minimum sample requirement.
- Goat and sheep biosecurity ELISA: No minimum sample requirement.
Customers may submit fewer samples than the stated minimum, but they will be billed at the applicable minimum charge. Minimums apply separately to each test ordered.
Updated Testing Schedules and Turnaround Times
To better accommodate customer submissions, DLD has also updated its testing schedules.
- PCR testing: Samples are accepted Monday through Friday, with results available within 3–5 business days.
- Bovine biosecurity ELISA: Results are available within 5–7 business days.
- Goat and sheep biosecurity ELISA: Routine testing continues on its scheduled testing day, with samples required by the published submission deadline.
- Pregnancy and Johne’s ELISA: Testing continues on designated processing days according to DLD’s submission schedule.
