Strip Test
Cow mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland caused by trauma or infection. It is the most common disease in dairy cattle, affecting both milk production and quality. Mastitis can be classified as subclinical or clinical, depending on the severity of the symptoms. Subclinical mastitis is asymptomatic and detected by testing the milk for somatic cell count. Clinical mastitis is characterized by visible signs of inflammation, such as swelling, redness, pain, warmth, and an abnormal appearance of the milk.
Subclinical mastitis is also a risk factor for developing clinical mastitis, which can have more serious consequences for the health and welfare of the animals. Subclinical mastitis can be detected by analyzing the milk for somatic cell count (SCC), which indicates the level of udder inflammation.
