UdderCheck Mastitis Test Kit

UdderCheck mastitis test kit

UdderCheck mastitis test measures Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), an enzyme present in milk when cells are damaged during an udder infection. LDH is correlated to SCC, but is not as easily affected by other conditions such as stress, nutrition, parity, stage of lactation, etc. LDH levels often rise earlier than somatic cell counts, making it an excellent marker for early detection of udder infections.

• Rapid 2 minute test for LDH in milk – Severe infections will cause a color change within a minute.

• Stable for 24 months at 2°C – 25°C (36°F – 77°F)  in portable easy-to-open desiccant vial.

• Cow-side test – User can squirt right onto test strip to check individual quarters or dip test strip into composite samples taken cow-side or in-line.
