Reference interpretation for this model: readings above 300 units generally indicate lower mastitis risk; readings between 250 and 300 units require closer monitoring; readings below 250 units indicate increased abnormality risk. Results should also be compared between quarters and interpreted together with herd history and veterinary assessment.

• Routine subclinical mastitis screening.
• Quarter-by-quarter dairy cow udder monitoring.
• Pre-milking or herd health inspection programs.
• Monitoring cows with previously abnormal readings.
• Dairy farm mastitis-control programs.
• Milking parlors and dairy breeding farms.
• Veterinary and herd-health service applications.

• Install a suitable 9V battery before operation.
• Ensure the sampling cup and measuring electrodes are clean before testing.
• Use milk from each udder quarter separately for comparative evaluation.
• Fill the sampling cup to at least the indicated measurement level.
• Rinse the sampling cup thoroughly after completing the test.
• Clean the cup carefully after an abnormal sample to reduce carryover between cows.
• Do not use abrasive tools that could damage the measuring electrodes.
• Replace the battery when the LB warning appears.
• Store the detector clean and dry in its protective case.

Q: What is this mastitis detector used for?
A: It is designed for rapid screening of subclinical mastitis risk by testing milk from individual udder quarters.

Q: Does it directly measure somatic cell count?
A: No. It measures changes in the electrical properties of milk that can be associated with udder inflammation.

Q: How are the readings interpreted?
A: For this model, readings above 300 units generally indicate lower risk, 250–300 units suggest closer monitoring, and readings below 250 units indicate increased abnormality risk.

Q: Should all four quarters be tested?
A: Yes. Comparing readings from all four quarters provides more useful information than relying on a single measurement.

Q: What type of battery does the detector use?
A: It uses one 9V standard or alkaline battery.

Q: Does the instrument require chemical reagents?
A: No. Routine measurement is electronic and does not require a test reagent.

Q: Is one abnormal reading enough to diagnose mastitis?
A: No. Readings should be compared with the other quarters, previous measurements and clinical observations, with laboratory or veterinary confirmation when necessary.

Q: How should the sampling cup be cleaned?
A: Rinse the cup and electrodes thoroughly with clean water after testing and remove all residual milk before the next measurement.
