Dairy Cow Mastitis Strip Cup with Black Strainer

The Dairy Cow Mastitis Strip Cup is a simple reusable tool for visually checking the first streams of milk before routine milking. It helps dairy workers identify visible abnormalities such as clots, flakes, stringy material, discoloration or watery milk that may indicate udder health problems.

Manufactured from durable plastic, the cup includes a removable black strainer that provides strong contrast for observing abnormal material in foremilk. It is suitable for daily use in dairy farms, milking parlors and cattle health-management programs.

• Rapid Visual Screening: Allows immediate observation of the first milk streams before milking.
• Black Strainer: Dark inspection surface makes white flakes, clots and stringy material easier to see.
• Removable Insert: The black mesh section can be removed for convenient washing and sanitation.
• Durable Plastic Construction: Lightweight and suitable for repeated dairy farm use.
• Integrated Handle: Provides comfortable one-hand operation during forestripping.
• No Reagent Required: Designed for direct visual inspection of milk appearance.
• Reusable Design: Can be washed and sanitized between uses.
• Daily Udder Health Monitoring: Useful as part of routine pre-milking observation on commercial dairy farms.

Before attaching the milking unit, the first few streams of milk from each teat are expressed into the strip cup. Liquid milk passes through the black strainer while visible clots, flakes or other abnormal material remain easy to observe against the dark surface.

The cup is a visual screening tool for abnormal milk and possible clinical mastitis signs. It does not measure somatic cell count and does not replace the California Mastitis Test, laboratory testing or veterinary diagnosis.

Q: What is a mastitis strip cup used for?
It is used to visually inspect the first streams of milk for abnormalities such as clots, flakes, stringy material or watery milk before routine milking.

Q: What material is the cup made from?
The current SHEWUYOU product is manufactured from plastic and includes a removable black strainer.

Q: Why is the strainer black?
The dark background improves visual contrast, making light-colored flakes, clots and abnormal milk material easier to identify.

Q: Does the strip cup require a testing reagent?
No. This product is designed for direct visual examination of foremilk and does not require a chemical reagent.

Q: Is this the same as a California Mastitis Test paddle?
No. A CMT paddle uses four wells and a reagent to estimate elevated somatic cell levels. A strip cup is used to visually identify abnormal milk such as clots and flakes.

Q: Can the strip cup detect subclinical mastitis?
Not reliably. Subclinical mastitis may have no visible milk changes and normally requires tests such as CMT, somatic cell counting or laboratory examination.

Q: Is the cup reusable?
Yes. The plastic cup and removable strainer can be washed and sanitized for repeated use.

Q: When should the milk be checked?
Foremilk should normally be inspected before the main milking process so visible abnormalities can be identified early.
