The California mastitis test (CMT) is a simple cow-side indicator of the somatic cell count of milk. It operates by disrupting the cell membrane of any cells present in the milk sample, allowing the DNA in those cells to react with the test reagent, forming a gel. [1] It provides a useful technique for detecting subclinical cases of mastitis.
Mastitis may be classified according two different criteria: either according to the clinical symptoms or depending on the mode of transmission. Clinical symptoms. Clinical mastitis : The form in which macroscopic changes in the milk and udder of the milch animal is easily detectable by the milker. [1]
The results of many studies suggest that cows with SCC of less than 200,000 are not likely to be infected with major mastitis pathogens, but cows with SCC above 300,000 are probably infected (Smith, 1996). Herds with bulk tank SCC above 200,000 will have varying degrees of subclinical mastitis present. Data from the National Mastitis Council ...
Mastitis – a persistent and potentially fatal mammary gland infection, leading to high somatic cell counts and loss of production. Mastitis is recognized by a reddening and swelling of the infected quarter of the udder and the presence of whitish clots or pus in the milk. Treatment is possible with long-acting antibiotics but milk from such ...

Cows receiving rBGH supplements may more frequently contract an udder infection known as mastitis. [139] Problems with mastitis have led to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan banning milk from rBST treated cows. Mastitis, among other diseases, may be responsible for the fact that levels of white blood cells in milk vary naturally. [140 ...

Corynebacterium bovis is a pathogenic bacterium that causes mastitis and pyelonephritis in cattle.. C. bovis is a facultatively anaerobic, Gram-positive organism, characterized by nonencapsulated, nonsporulated, immobile, straight or curved rods with a length of 1 to 8 μm and width of 0.3 to 0.8 μm, which forms ramified aggregations in culture (looking like "Chinese characters").
