Technological Advancements Bolster South & Central America Companion Animal Diagnostics Market

Improvements in diagnostic technologies to support the early detection of diseases have contributed to the greater success of treatment of chronic diseases in pets. In recent years, technological advancements in animal diagnostics have resulted in the development of more accurate, sensitive, and specific diagnostic tests. The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is a significant advancement in companion animal diagnostics. NGS is a powerful tool that allows for the rapid and simultaneous analysis of multiple genes, enabling the identification of genetic mutations that may be linked to a specific disease. NGS has also unlocked more sensitive and specific diagnostic tests for cancer, hereditary diseases, and other similar diseases. Moreover, there has been an increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in companion animal diagnostics. AI-powered algorithms can be implemented in diagnostics to analyze large volumes of data to identify patterns and make predictions, which can help improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostic tests.
