Chimertech California Mastitis Test Kit, Helps improve udder health and milk quality, leading to increased productivity in dairy animals.

Product description -
➔ The California Mastitis Test (CMT) is a diagnostic tool designed to aid in the quick and simple diagnosis of mastitis in various animals, including cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats, donkeys, and camels.

➔ It operates as a cow-side indicator of the somatic cell count of milk, helping farmers and veterinarians detect subclinical cases of mastitis and manage udder health effectively.

➔ The CMT kit contains a reagent, which reacts with the DNA of cells present in milk samples.

➔ This reaction forms a gel, and the severity of the gel formation is scored.

➔ A scores indicates a result, signifying the presence of mastitis.

Mode of action -
➔ The CMT operates by disrupting the cell membrane of somatic cells present in the milk sample.
➔ This allows the DNA in those cells to react with the test reagent, resulting in the formation of a gel.
➔ The severity of gel formation is scored to determine the presence and severity of mastitis.
