The Draminski electronic mastitis tester is a reliable device for indicating subclinical mastitis. Convenient design and highly visible LCD display. No need to remember sequential readings, making it easy to identify affected quarters.
Inter-quarter comparisons for detecting abnormalities
The Draminski electronic mastitis tester is used by dairy farmers around the world.
It is a well-proven and extremely reliable device indicating foremilk
conductivity and consequent subclinical mastitis. The design is very
convenient to use, with the test switch being located under the handle
for effortless activation without changing your grip. Conductivity
readings are displayed in a digital format on a large-screen LCD
display, highly visible even in poorly lit dairies. With
Draminski, the higher the conductivity reading, the healthier the milk.
Readings above 300 generally can be taken to indicate a healthy
uninfected quarter, and under 250 to be suspected subclinical mastitis.
But remember- no conductivity meter gives absolute readings of healthy
or unhealthy quarters, or of cell counts. Readings can only be used as
inter-quarter comparisons. Four quarters with low but consistent
readings, may be perfectly normal and healthy. Watch out for different
quarters. This four-cup tester from Draminski has obvious
benefits. There is no need to remember the sequential quarter readings.
They are all right there. There is no question about identifying the
affected quarter. After reading just shake out the samples and go on to
the next cow. The new upgraded device has been equipped with a large internal memory, so the breeder will be able to save up to 250 identities of animals (e.g. ear tag number) and make as many as 200,000 measurements along with the exact date and time of the test.
