Abstract
An apparatus for testing a biological fluid from an animal for the presence of disease in the animal. The apparatus including a container, a dipstick and a luminometer. One end of the dipstick is inserted into a sample of the fluid so that a predetermined amount of the sample becomes attached to the dipstick and takes part in a reaction in the container which produces light emissions. The luminometer receives the container and is operated whereby a determination of the level of bacteria in the sample and hence of disease in the animal is made, by sensing the light emissions from the container.
