Labmaster LUCIA™ Veterinary Diagnostics
The Labmaster LUCIA™ Foal IgG Kit
for Whole Blood Samples
The Labmaster LUCIA™ Foal IgG test is an in vitro veterinary diagnostic test for the quantitative determination of determination of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) from foal whole blood to assess failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI).
The Labmaster LUCIA™ Foal IgG Kit is to be used with the semi-automated Labmaster LUCIA™ Vet Analyzer.

Newborn foals are entirely dependent on antibodies absorbed following ingestion of mare’s colostrum for protection against infectious diseases. After 24 hours a foal is considered to have failure of transfer of passive immunity (FTPI), if circulating immunoglobulin levels are less than 400 mg/dl. FTPI occurs in 10 to 20% of newborn foals (i). It is the most common immunodeficiency disorder in horses and associated with an increased risk of infectious disease and mortality, which is why routine monitoring is recommended, to allow early detection and treatment (ii).
