Milk Checker MCM-5L : Digital Mastitis Detector

Milk Checker is a digital compact detector that detects bovine mastitis with extreme precision.

Through a quick and simple test, Milk Checker is capable of detecting clinical and subclinical mastitis

simultaneously within seconds in all four quarters of the udder.

Made in Japan, Milk Checker utilizes the most advanced technology to produce reliable results,

guaranteeing the health of your herd.

NEW Features !!

- Sample storage capacity up to 500 samples

- Bluetooth® data transfer: suitable for data management by large farmers

- Automatically blinking for abnormal milk: Easy to get the result

- Temperature probe: accurate and stable data in different ambient and milk temperature.

• Measurement principle

Milk checker is handy type instrument for cows to measure the electrical conductivity of milk in quarters of udder and to detect mastitis.

When inflammation or other mammary disorders occurs, plasma constituents may exudate and cause changes in concentration of electrolytes

contained in cow milk such as Na+, CL-, etc. A rise in sodium and chloride content results in increased electrical conductivity in the milk.

Milk Checker is based on this principle and can detect abnormalities in the udders quickly and accurately by measuring electrical

conductivity of milk.

Advantages

• Fast and reliable

An innovative technology, Milk Checker is more reliable than other methods of mastitis detection.

Unlike the complicated California Mastitis Test, which is subjective and requires mixing the milk with a solution, Milk Checker numerically

displays results on digital display, with decimal precision, thus saving time and money.

• Monitors your herd’s health

Milk Checker is an important in the management of herd. By using Milk Checker regularly throughout the lactation period, one can easily

identify the infected cattle and separate them from the rest of herd.

In addition, Milk Checker can also be used to determine the efficiency of antibiotic treatment.

• Prevents outbreaks of clinical mastitis

Every year, mastitis outbreaks result in substantial losses for dairy farmers. Therefore, prevention is imperative. It is be able to detect

infection at a preliminary stage, when it is still imperceptible.

Thus, you avoid the high costs of veterinary treatment, antibiotics, and discarding milk and cattle, etc.

Quality

Milk Checker is a compliant device to Special disease medical guidelines by Mutual Aid Association of Veterinary Japan, as applicable

electrical conductivity might be risk of mastitis infection in the quarter.

Therefore, Milk Checker is favored mastitis detector in most countries with high quality control of milk such as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

MILK DOCTOR SCC DUNK®

The Somatic Cell Count (SCC) is a main indicator of milk quality. The majority of somatic cells are leukocytes

(white blood cells) - which become present in increasing numbers in milk usually as an immune response to a

mastitis-causing pathogen - and a small number of epithelial cells, which are milk-producing cells shed from

inside of the udder when an infection occurs.

MILK DOCTOR SCC DUNK® is detectable white blood cells mainly and get the result in 5 minutes.

It is applicable to individual, or commingled cow milk samples to Monitor cows with subclinical and

clinical mastitis and milk quality.

Product Summary
