About 125 µl of blood were collected from the middle ear vein and applied onto designated sample area of the classic Whatman FTA cards (Whatman Bioscience, Cambridge, UK) avoiding cross contamination [34] , [35] (link). Blood samples were then allowed to air-dry, labelled with cattle ear tag numbers, treatment regimen, sampling number, village name, parish, sub County, County and date of collection. They were packed in foil pouches with a silica gel desiccant (Sigma Aldrich, Co., Life sciences, USA) prior to shipping to the University of Edinburgh, UK for analysis.
Silica gel desiccant
Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States
Silica gel desiccant is a type of adsorbent material used for moisture control and drying purposes. It is composed of small, porous beads or granules made from silicon dioxide. The primary function of silica gel desiccant is to absorb and trap water vapor from the surrounding environment, helping to maintain dry conditions.

Whole blood samples were collected by laceration of the middle ear vein of each sampled animal using 22 G lancing needles. About 125 μL of the blood sample was collected from the blood drops that formed on the lacerated ear vein using heparinized capillary tubes and applied onto Classic Flinders Technology Associates [FTA] Cards (Whatman®). Blood samples were allowed to air-dry and then labeled serially. Thereafter, blood samples were packed in FTA pouches with a silica gel desiccant (Sigma Aldrich, Co., Life sciences, USA) prior to shipment to Clinvet international [Uitsig Road, Universitas, Bloemfontein, 9338, South Africa] for analysis. The Pouches were appropriately labelled so that the samples can be traced back to Village, Parish, subcounty, county, district and country of orgin. Additional data on the possible intrinsic and extrinsic predictors of infection with different TBHPs were recorded on a separate Data capture form that accompanied the samples to Clinvet international.

About 125 μl of blood were collected from the middle ear vein and applied onto the classic Whatman FTA® cards (Whatman Bioscience, Cambridge, UK) avoiding cross contamination of the four samples on each card [29 , 30 (link)]. The samples were then allowed to air-dry, labelled with cattle tag number, treatment regimen, sampling number, village name, parish, sub County, County and date of collection. They were packed in foil pouches with a silica gel desiccant (Sigma Aldrich, Co., Life sciences, USA) prior to shipping to the University of Edinburgh, UK for analysis.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
