Seasonal Allergy Testing – Pollen Sensitivities in Horses

Description

Why Test?

Seasonal allergic reactions in horses can affect the skin, respiratory tract, and even digestion. Identifying specific sensitivities to pollens — such as grasses, weeds, and trees — is crucial for effective long-term management and avoiding unnecessary treatments. Horses of any breed, age, or sex can be affected, often with symptoms that peak during spring and summer.

Key Benefits

  • Precise allergen identification: Based on specific IgE response
  • HERBU scoring system: Results reported on a 0–5 scale for clinical clarity
  • Minimally invasive: Requires only a blood sample — no sedation, shaving, or intradermal injections
  • Highly reproducible: Standardized and validated laboratory method
  • Fast turnaround: Results ready in 2 to 7 working days

What’s Tested?

  • The test covers three key allergen classes relevant to seasonal exposures. Results are IgE-specific, avoiding cross-reactivity with IgG or CCDs.

    🌱 Grasses and Crops

    • Poa pratensis (Kentucky bluegrass) 

    • Phleum pratense (Timothy grass) 

    • Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass) 

    • Festuca pratensis (Meadow fescue) 

    • Sorghum halepense (Johnson grass) 

    • Secale cereale (Rye) 

    • Dactylis glomerata (Orchard grass) 

    • Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) 

    🌿 Weeds

    • Chenopodium album (Lamb’s quarters) 

    • Plantago lanceolata (Plantain) 

    • Rumex crispus (Curly dock) 

    🌳 Trees

    • Betula populifolia (Gray birch)

    • Salix caprea (Goat willow) 

    • Corylus avellana (Hazel) 

    • Fagus sylvatica (Beech) 

🧪 Sample Requirements

  • 2 mL serum
    or

  • 4 mL whole blood (serum tube)

⏱️ Turnaround Time

  • 2 to 7 working days

🧬 About the Results

  • 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
