Development of serological ovine field test (SOFT) by modified agar-gel immunodiffusion.

Full Abstract

A serological ovine field test (SOFT) has been developed for detection of lamb or sheep tissue in a wide variety of raw meat products. The test is an adaptation of previously developed field screening immunodiffusion tests for beef, poultry, and pork detection. The SOFT test was demonstrated to be specific, sensitive, and accurate in the analysis of 104 samples.
