What is Mastitis?

Mastitis could be divided into subclinical and clinical types. Of the two, subclinical mastitis is 15 to 40 times more prevalent than the clinical form. The subclinical mastitis is featured with the following

 It usually precedes the clinical form

 It is of long duration

 It is difficult to detect

 It reduces milk production

 It adversely affects the quality of milk

The major cause of milk loss in the dairy industry today is bovine mastitis. The MILK CHECKER is a handy device which measures the electrical conductivity of milk from the cow's quarter and helps diagnose mammary disorders at an early stage. Such disorders are accompanied by changes in the concentration of electrolytes contained in the milk, such as Na+ and Cl-, due to the exudation of plasma constituents. A rise in sodium and chloride content results in increased electrical conductivity in the milk. The milk checker has been designed based on this principle. It enables the rapid and simple detection of mastitis.

Advantages of Milk Checker

 Prevents clinical mastitis

 Blocks the spreading of infection

 Quickens recovery from mastitis

 Saves extra labour and cost for mastitis

Detect Mastitis Early at Cow-Side

Regular and spot tests are quick and easy with milk checker, and make possible the early and accurate detection of mastitis which minimises the loss and enhances economical benefits.
