To detect infections such as mastitis early, it is useful to use the milk test paddle. By placing a liquid in the trays, the milk will react with the liquid in a chemical reaction. Due to the effect of this reaction it is easy for the farmer to see if something is wrong with the cow. The test works as follows:
Draw approximately two streams of milk into each cup of the paddle, hold the paddle almost vertical to determine the right amount of milk. The cups are complemented with marks to show exactly how much milk is needed. Then add CMT-liquid, the same amount as the milk. Mix the liquid with the milk, the color turns light pink. After about ten seconds the results are clear. When the milk is thickening and becoming more solid, the test is positive; mastitis is detected.
