Allows independent inspection and evaluation of udder health long before the appearance of visible qualitative changes in milk in the form of: lint, blood, wateriness.
Reading method:
a. Liquid mixture, without streaks, yellow color.
Evaluation: about 100,000 somatic cells - good milk without changes.

Evaluation: 200,000 - 500,000 somatic cells - threat to udder health
c. Mixture with clear streaks, slightly gelatinous red-purple color.
Evaluation: 500,000 - 1,000,000 somatic cells - diseased udder, subclinical inflammation
d. Jelly-like mixture, red-blue in color.
