Step 1.
Collect milk samples per teat in a Q4 sample container.
Step 2.
Simply click, twist and tap the QScout MLD test.
Step 3.
Place the test in the QScout Farm Lab.
Step 4.
QScout Farm Lab delivers results within minutes.
Step 5.
Red means infected, green means not infected.
Step 6.
Track your results online in your PuraCare Dashboard.
Mastitis costs the dairy industry in Europe billions every year, which equates to approximately €250 per cow per year.
The big reason mastitis has such an impact on the dairy industry is that subclinical mastitis goes undetected.
The rapid diagnostic test on your farm that accurately detects subclinical mastitis in individual quarters.
Provides information to help dairy farmers achieve:
- Higher milk production
- Lower cell count
- Data-driven decisions
- Longer lifespan of cows
- Improved reproduction
- Sensible use of antibiotics
- Improved animal welfare
Instant results in just a few minutes.
The QScout MLD test identifies subclinical mastitis per quarter to prevent economic losses.
The QScout MLD (Milk Leukocyte Differentiation) test provides:
- Early detection of subclinical mastitis
- Provides fast results
- Tells you which quarter is infected
- Does not require aseptic sampling
- Don’t be misled by sample contamination
- Makes it all easy on the dairy farm
Unlike conventional testing!
Start lactation trial results:
- Cows were tested at 7-14 days in milk (DIM) for subclinical mastitis
- Cows testing positive for subclinical mastitis were equally divided into treatment and non-treatment groups
Milk production and quality advantage:
- Cows in the treatment group produced an average of 601 kg (1325 pounds) more milk after 305 days of lactation than cows in the no treatment group, with a milk quality advantage of 115,000 somatic cells/mL
Each type of white blood cell plays a key role in fighting infection:
- Lymphocytes and macrophages search for pathogens.
- Neutrophils fight infections by engulfing bacteria and releasing enzymes to kill bacteria
- Macrophages engulf and digest cellular waste and pathogens.
Practical examples
- Start Lactation
- Composite Cell Count: 94,000/mL
- QScout sees the left front quarter as infected with subclinical mastitis
- Detect and treat an infection that would otherwise go undetected and become a more costly clinical mastitis case
