Mas-D-Tec without Button

The Mas-D-Tec Subclinical Mastitis Detector is a hand held electronic meter that measures electrical conductivity in a small sample of milk. Research has shown that conductivity increases markedly with the onset of mastitis infection. Mas-D-Tec detects an increase in conductivity long before other clinical symptoms and signs are evident. 9-volt battery included. To use the Mas-D-Tec, a milk sample is squirted from the teat into the funnel type opening at the top of the unit. The results appear immediately, registering a reading ranging from 0 to 9. A reading of 0 indicates a mastitis-free quarter. A reading of 0 to 4 is generally considered normal, but if one quarter has a reading two units higher than the other quarters (even if the reading is within the normal 2 to 4 range), you should also consider that quarter to be subclinically infected. Any reading of 5 or higher should be interpreted as a positive indication of subclinical mastitis in that particular quarter.
