Summary:Diagnostic advances such as next-generation sequencing, highly multiplexed real-time PCR tests, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry have provided a tremendous increase in the amount of diagnostic information to clinicians. However, interpretation and application of these results to both individual and herd-level diagnostics still require the necessary skills in critical thinking and diagnostic interpretation to maximize benefit. This article provides a summary of advancements in diagnostic medicine and interpretation, as well as identifies gaps in knowledge that can be targeted to continue to build on best practices and application of diagnostic tools to improve ruminant health.
