Cow Milk LDH Test Strips for Mastitis Detection [Vial of 50 Tests]
Mastitis is considered the most common and costly disease in the dairy industry. Detecting it early is easy and affordable with this cowside subclinical dipstick test.
The Milk Mastitis LDH Test is designed to measure LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), an enzyme released into the milk when udder tissue is damaged and cells are compromised due to an infection.
Studies show that measuring LDH activity in milk is an easy and cost-effective way to detect subclinical mastitis.
Compared to SCC tests, testing for LDH is just as effective (if not more), is less expensive and provides earlier detection because LDH levels often increase earlier than SCC.
While LDH is correlated to SCC, LDH is not as easily affected as SCC by other issues such as stress, nutrition, parity and stage of lactation, making it a more reliable indicator for determining an udder infection.
