Milk Tests

California Mastitis Test (CMT)

The California Mastitis Test (CMT) is a quick paddle test that checks milk from each udder quarter for raised somatic cells, a sign of mastitis. It is commonly used to screen cows and buffaloes for hidden (subclinical) mastitis.

Milk Tests

Somatic Cell Count (SCC) - Milk

A somatic cell count (SCC) counts the cells in a milk sample, most of them white blood cells. A rising count can signal udder inflammation such as mastitis in cows and buffaloes, even when the milk looks normal.

Milk Tests

Milk Culture & Sensitivity (Mastitis)

Milk culture and sensitivity grows the bacteria causing mastitis from a clean quarter milk sample and tests which antibiotics may work against them. It helps a vet choose care for cows and buffaloes with mastitis.

Milk Tests

Mastitis Pathogen RT-PCR Panel

A mastitis pathogen RT-PCR panel checks a quarter milk sample for the DNA of common mastitis germs, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species and E. coli. It can find several organisms at once, but it does not show which antibiotics may work.

Milk Tests

Mycoplasma bovis Milk RT-PCR

The Mycoplasma bovis milk RT-PCR looks for the DNA of Mycoplasma bovis, a contagious mastitis germ, in milk from cows and buffaloes. It can find this germ, which routine milk culture often misses.

Milk Tests

Milk Ring Test (Brucellosis Screening)

The Milk Ring Test (MRT) is a screening test that looks for Brucella antibodies in milk, shown by a coloured ring in the cream. It is used to screen cows and buffaloes, often on mixed herd milk, and positives are confirmed with other tests.

Milk Progesterone ELISA

A milk progesterone ELISA measures the hormone progesterone in milk to show where a cow or buffalo is in her heat cycle. It can help confirm that an animal is not in heat or may be pregnant, but it cannot prove pregnancy.

Milk BHB (Ketosis) Test

The milk BHB test measures beta-hydroxybutyrate, a ketone body, in milk to screen fresh cows and buffaloes for ketosis. A raised result may lead your vet to confirm with a blood BHB test, the reference test.

Milk Tests

Milk Composition (Fat, SNF, Protein & Lactose)

A milk composition test measures the main solids in milk: fat, SNF (solids-not-fat), protein and lactose. Dairy farmers, vendors and cooperatives use it to check cow and buffalo milk for pricing, feeding decisions and signs of dilution.

Milk Fat (Gerber Method)

The Gerber method measures how much fat is in cow or buffalo milk. Acid frees the fat, and spinning pushes it up into the marked neck of a glass tube, called a butyrometer, for reading.

Milk Tests

Milk Density (Lactometer)

A lactometer test uses a floating glass gauge to read milk density, or how heavy milk is for its volume. Added water tends to lower the reading, while skimming off cream raises it.

Milk Tests

Milk Titratable Acidity

Titratable acidity measures the acid in milk. Fresh milk has only a little, and the level climbs as bacteria turn milk sugar into lactic acid, so a raised reading points to souring.

Milk pH Test

A milk pH test shows how acidic or alkaline milk is. A raised pH can go with mastitis (an udder infection) and a falling pH with souring, but a normal pH does not rule mastitis out.

Milk Tests

Milk Clot-on-Boiling Test

In the clot-on-boiling (COB) test, a little milk is boiled to see whether it curdles. Milk that clots is unsuitable for heating or processing, often because it has started to sour.

Milk Alcohol / Alizarin Test

The alcohol test mixes milk with alcohol and watches for flakes or clots, a sign the milk is unstable and could curdle when heated. Adding alizarin, a colour dye, also hints at souring.

Milk Methylene Blue Reduction Test (MBRT)

MBRT, the methylene blue reduction test, is an indirect check of bacteria in raw milk. A blue dye is added, and the sooner it fades, the more bacteria are likely present.

Milk Resazurin Reduction Test

The resazurin test uses a blue dye to gauge bacterial activity in milk. Active bacteria turn it pink and then colourless, so the colour seen after a set time is a rough guide to hygiene.

Milk Total Bacterial Count (TBC / Standard Plate Count)

A milk total bacterial count (TBC), also called a standard plate count, counts the bacteria in milk that grow on a standard lab plate. It is commonly used to check milking hygiene and how well cow and buffalo milk is cooled.

Milk Coliform Count

A milk coliform count measures how many coliform bacteria are in raw milk. Coliforms come from dung, soil and dirty water, so a high count points to poor hygiene during milking, handling or storage.

Milk Urea (Adulteration) Test

The milk urea adulteration test checks whether urea, a common fertiliser, has been mixed into milk. Milk naturally holds a little urea, so the result is compared with that natural level.

Milk Added Sugar Test

An added sugar test looks for cane sugar (sucrose) in milk, sometimes stirred in so watered milk reads richer on a lactometer. It targets sucrose, not lactose, the natural milk sugar.

Milk Added Water (Freezing Point) Test

Measuring the temperature at which milk freezes gives an estimate of added water. Milk freezes a little colder than plain water, so watering pulls its freezing point closer to water's.

Milk Antibiotic Residue Test

A milk antibiotic residue test is a rapid kit that checks milk for traces of antibiotics, such as beta-lactams and tetracyclines. Which drug groups are covered depends on the kit and is confirmed when you book.

Milk Alkaline Phosphatase Test

The alkaline phosphatase test helps show whether milk was properly pasteurised. Correct heating destroys this natural milk enzyme, so finding it points to under-heating or added raw milk.

Milk Urea Nitrogen (MUN) Test

The milk urea nitrogen (MUN) test measures natural urea in milk, a by-product of protein breakdown. It reflects the feed's protein and energy balance and is not a test for added urea.

Colostrum Quality Test (Brix / IgG)
