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.

When your vet may advise it

  • Asked for by dairies and farmers to track milking and storage hygiene; it does not name the kinds of bacteria present.

How to prepare

Use a very clean bottle, fill it from well-mixed milk and keep it chilled. The lab confirms the method, sample needs and reporting time when you book.

Before you book this test

Why this notice: so you know, before you book, how a test is done, what its limits are and who is responsible.

  • Where it is tested. Some tests are done wholly or partly by an independent partner laboratory. The lab tells you before booking if this test is sent out, and the report names the laboratory that did it.
  • What a result can and cannot tell you. No test is right every time. A normal result does not rule out every disease, and an abnormal result does not prove one. A registered veterinarian should read the report with the animal’s signs and history before any treatment is started, changed or stopped.
  • The sample. A sample that is clotted, too small, wrongly labelled, leaking or too old may be rejected or reported with a note, and the lab may ask for a fresh one.
  • Reporting time. Confirmed when you book. Times are estimates, not guarantees, and the lab confirms the time when you book.
  • Emergencies. A booking or a pending report must not delay urgent care. If an animal has collapsed, struggles to breathe, has fits or bleeds heavily, call a veterinarian at once.
