Early mastitis detection is critical for maintaining udder health and ensuring clinical cases are treated effectively. Prompt action helps dairy farmers protect milk quality, reduce herd infections, and improve overall productivity.


What is Clinical Mastitis?

Clinical mastitis is an inflammation of the udder that causes visible changes in the milk. Common signs include:

  • Milk clots
  • Watery or abnormal color
  • Visible flakes or changes in consistency

👉 If clots appear only in the first 2–3 squirts and then the milk clears, it is not clinical mastitis but a local teat reaction. In such cases, additional mastitis tests (e.g., California Mastitis Test – CMT) are not required.

If the milk appears normal, the cow does not have clinical mastitis.


Benefits of Early Mastitis Detection

Detecting mastitis quickly and starting treatment early offers multiple advantages:

  • Faster response to therapy
  • Reduced risk of cross-infection between cows
  • Prevention of mastitis milk contaminating the bulk tank
  • Protection of bulk tank cell count and Bactoscan results
  • Fewer repeat mastitis cases, lowering treatment costs
  • Quicker reduction in somatic cell count
  • Faster recovery and return to milk production


Challenges in Mastitis Detection

Not all dairy farms strip cows before milking. In many herds, the milking unit is applied without foremilking or thorough teat preparation. This delay in mastitis detection can allow infections to spread. Some farmers only strip high-risk groups, such as high-yielding cows, leaving others unchecked.


Advantages of In-Line Mastitis Detectors

Modern in-line mastitis detectors offer reliable, real-time monitoring with several benefits:

  • Detect milk clots early
  • Trap dirt, straw, or foreign particles, improving teat hygiene practices
  • Large detectors make clots easy to see for milkers
  • High-volume detectors (e.g., Ambic Vision) ensure accurate detection without disrupting vacuum stability or milk flow, provided they are kept clean
