Evaluation of a commercial real-time multiplex PCR assay for the detection of bovine mastitis pathogens directly from milk

Abstract

This thesis is dedicated to my parents Kathy and Greg who have blessed me with their guidance to this point over great distance with love and patience. Everything you have taught me has brought me to a place where I have found purpose, passion and endless opportunities. I will never forget how fortunate I am. This thesis is also dedicated to those whose greatest challenge in life is themselves.
