Campylobacter hepaticus (Spotty Liver Disease) PCR Test is a laboratory PCR assay used to detect Campylobacter hepaticus, the bacterium responsible for spotty liver disease in poultry. Designed for commercial poultry operations, this test supports disease investigations, routine surveillance, and biosecurity monitoring. Spotty liver disease primarily affects laying hens and breeder flocks, causing sudden drops in egg production, increased mortality, reduced feed intake, lethargy, and characteristic liver lesions. Early laboratory confirmation can assist with timely treatment decisions and help minimise production losses. Need Help Interpreting Your Results?
