What do experts think about Pork MultiPath?
In this short video, pig health expert Dr. Peter McKenzie BVSc talks about the benefits of Pork MultiPath
Ground-breaking disease management technology
Pork MultiPath focuses on pathogen detection. Our technology is unsurpassed in its ability to co-detect multiple pig pathogens with sensitivity and specificity for multiple pathogen detection superior to current industry methods. All this adds up to data that empowers vets and farmers to significantly reduce the risk of disease and improve yield.
Respiratory Pork MultiPath™ detects and quantifies:
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 1, 5, 7, 15 (APP1, APP5, APP7, APP15)
Streptococcus suis, serotype 2, 3 (SS generic; SS2, SS3)
Haemophilus parasuis (HP) – Also known as Glaesserella parasuis (GP)
Pasteurella multocida (PM)
Mycoplasma hyorhinis (MHR)
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (MHP)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2)
Enteric Pork MultiPath™ detects and quantifies:
Lawsonia intracellularis ( LI)
Brachyspira pilosicoli (BP)
Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (BH)
Salmonella enterica (SE) incl. serovar Typhimurium (SEty)
Escherichia coli (EC) incl. F4, F5, F6, F18, F41, LT1, ST1, ST2, STX2e, eaeA
Porcine rotavirus (RV) RVA, RVB, RVC
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2)

Testimonials
“As a veterinarian in the pork industry, I am excited to now have commercial access to Pork MultiPath™ panels for enteric and respiratory pathogens. We have never before had the ability to detect so many pathogens from a single sample. This surveillance capacity will be very useful as we seek to continually improve herd health and antimicrobial stewardship.”
“We turned to Genics Pork MultiPath™ pathogen detection technology to solve inaccuracies in identifying severe health issues in some of our pigs. Where other laboratory-based technologies had failed, Pork MultiPath™ succeeded, and as a result we’ve been able to optimise our vaccination program and become more efficient in improving our herd health and animal performance.”
“Australian Pork is thrilled to be partnering with Genics on such an important project, protecting Australia’s pig herd health. With African Swine Fever in our region, there’s never been a more important time to look to new technologies, such as Genics’ MultiPath™ to care for our animals via early detection of animal disease.”
“Pork MultiPath™ gave our team the evidence we needed to implement data-driven management decisions to improve our production systems.”
“The Pork MultiPath™ technology is something our industry has been seeking for a long time. This technology gives us an accurate, quantitative pathogen profile in a single affordable test. At SunPork Farms, we are using the technology to inform improved herd health management decisions across our farms.”
“Genics has not only helped us to conduct a BaseLine longitudinal study of the system, but has also allowed us to make decisions based on the use of antibiotics and vaccines. It really has been invaluable working together with Genics.”
