Note ! INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS Rinsing should also be completed after testing a quarter in which a subclinical condition has been detected. That way, residues of milk from that sample will IT IS NECESSARY TO EVALUATE RESULTS ACCORDING TO TWO CRITERIA: not affect the measurement of another quarter.
quarter A = 340 TECHNICAL DATA quarter B = 350 quarter C = 350 Weight - approx. 450 g (4x4Q Mast) quarter D = 260 a result below 300 units and a difference of 90 units - approx. 300g (4Q Mast, 1Q Mast) compared to the highest result (quarters B and C) an old cow, 9 lactation,...
