Over

This Equine Seasonal Allergy Panel measures allergen-specific IgE antibodies against a comprehensive range of seasonal pollens, including grasses, weeds and trees. The test helps identify environmental allergens associated with seasonal allergic disease and supports the development of targeted management strategies and Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT).

Waarom testen?

Seasonal allergic reactions can affect the skin, respiratory tract and general wellbeing of horses. Identifying the specific pollens responsible for hypersensitivity allows veterinarians to develop targeted treatment plans and avoid unnecessary therapies.

Key Benefits

Identifies allergen-specific IgE antibodies
HERBU scoring system (0–5) for easy clinical interpretation
Minimally invasive blood test
Standardized and highly reproducible laboratory method
Supports formulation of customized Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT)
Results available within 2–7 working days

Klinische tekenen

Seasonal allergies may cause:

Pruritus (itching)
Recurrent urticaria (hives)
Mane and tail rubbing
Dermatitis
Head shaking
Nasal discharge
Coughing
Respiratory discomfort
Seasonal worsening of clinical signs, particularly during spring and summer

Transmissie

Seasonal allergies are not contagious. Clinical signs occur when susceptible horses develop an allergic immune response following exposure to airborne environmental pollens.

Preventie

Although seasonal allergies cannot always be prevented, clinical signs may be reduced by:

Identifying and avoiding relevant allergens whenever possible.
Implementing environmental management strategies.
Using veterinarian-prescribed medications when necessary.
Considering Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) based on laboratory results.

Resultaten

Results are expressed using the HERBU score (0–600)

Each allergen is classified into clinical reactivity classes (0–5)

IgE-specific testing avoids cross-reactions with IgG or irrelevant allergens

Supports formulation of custom Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) when indicated

Veelgestelde vragen

Which horses should be tested?

Horses showing seasonal itching, urticaria, dermatitis, respiratory signs or recurrent allergic symptoms, particularly during spring and summer.

What sample is required?

2 mL serum or 4 mL whole blood collected in a serum tube.

Does a positive result confirm clinical allergy?

Not necessarily. Positive IgE results indicate sensitization to an allergen and should always be interpreted alongside the horse's clinical signs and history.

Can this test be used to prepare immunotherapy?

Yes. Results may be used by veterinarians to formulate Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy (ASIT) when clinically indicated.

When will I receive my results?

Results are available within 2 to 7 working days after sample arrival at the laboratory.
