Milk tests for cows and buffaloes in Bhopal: mastitis, quality and adulteration

Milk can show the health of the udder, the hygiene of the dairy and whether the milk has been mixed with something else. These tests are for dairy farmers, milk vendors and cooperatives who keep cows and buffaloes. Results are for your information and do not replace official food-safety testing.

About these tests

Mastitis tests

Mastitis is inflammation of the udder. Tests such as the California Mastitis Test (CMT) and somatic cell count can show hidden (subclinical) mastitis even when the milk looks normal. Milk culture and PCR name the germ, and culture also shows which antibiotics may work. Your veterinarian decides what to do with the result.

Milk quality tests

These measure fat, solids-not-fat, protein and lactose, and show how clean the milk was by counting bacteria or by simple reduction tests. Acidity and heat-stability checks show how fresh the milk is.

Adulteration, residue and toxin tests

Quick chemical checks can look for added water, starch, urea, detergent and other additives. Rapid kits can check for antibiotic residues, and ELISA or kit tests can check for aflatoxin M1. The exact tests and methods are confirmed when you book.

Breeding and herd tests on milk

Milk can also be used for progesterone, to help judge the breeding cycle, for ketone (BHB) screening in fresh animals, and for brucellosis screening with the milk ring test.

How to give a good milk sample

Wash and dry the teats, throw away the first few streams, and collect into a clean, sterile container. Label each quarter, keep the sample cool and bring it quickly. For a mastitis culture, take the sample before any antibiotic is used. The lab tells you more when you book.

Mastitis Testing: CMT, Cell Count, Culture and RT-PCR

Mastitis testing works like a ladder. A cowside CMT shows which udder quarter is inflamed, a cell count measures how much, a culture finds the germ and shows which antibiotics may work, and RT-PCR finds germs that are hard to grow.

Brucellosis in Herds: Testing, Safety and What to Tell the Vet

Questions about milk tests

How do I collect milk for a mastitis test?
Wash and dry the teat, discard the first few streams, and collect milk into a clean sterile bottle. Label each quarter, keep it cool and bring it to the lab quickly. For a culture, collect before any antibiotic is given.
Which test finds hidden (subclinical) mastitis?
The California Mastitis Test and the somatic cell count can show a rise in udder cells even when the milk looks normal. Milk culture then finds the germ.
Does the lab test milk for adulteration?
The lab lists milk adulteration screening tests for common additives. The exact tests and methods are confirmed when you book. The report is for your information and does not replace official food-safety testing.
Can milk samples be tested from outside Bhopal?
Milk spoils quickly, so call the lab before sending any milk sample from another district. Free pick-up is available anywhere in Bhopal.
Does a milk test tell me when milk is safe to sell?
No. The tests show specific results such as cell counts, bacteria or residues. Rules about selling milk and antibiotic withdrawal come from your veterinarian and food-safety authorities.
