Using the NEW BHBCheck Plus blood ketone & glucose testing system on the farm

This “Ask Dave” video shows viewers how to use PortaCheck's new BHBCheck Plus blood ketone & glucose testing system. This easy-to-use handheld meter provides quantitative results for Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and *new* GLUCOSE screening in bovine whole blood. Each test requires just 1 drop of blood each, and results are rapid for both BHB (5 seconds) and glucose (6 seconds). Dave Lee, consultant for PortaCheck, describes why glucose testing is important in conjunction with BHB ketone testing in fresh cows. When results are discussed with your veterinarian, glucose readings can help in cooperative decisions for treatment options. Our BHBCheck Plus meter holds up to 450 data points which can be transferred to our free software with the data cable. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at www.portacheck.com, and we will be happy to help.
