Description
Mastitis, inflammation of the udder, costs dairy farms milk and money, and the usual cell count test tells only part of the story. Akvilė Girdauskaitė and co-authors measured fifty-nine Holstein cows in early lactation in 2025, sorting them into three groups by cell count and a field test. A robotic milking system logged milk traits while blood samples gave chemistry values.
Higher cell counts came with lower yield and with higher milk conductivity and two blood enzymes. Milk conductivity and blood potassium separated healthy from mastitic cows best in accuracy tests. The authors say pairing the standard count with robot data and blood chemistry could catch udder trouble earlier and describe it more fully.
