Bartovation Cow Milk LDH Test Strips 50-Pack - Cowside Mastitis Screening, Results in Minutes

These single-use LDH dipsticks provide a practical, affordable way for dairy farmers and herd managers to screen individual quarters or whole-cow milk for signs of subclinical mastitis without sending samples to a lab. Designed for on-farm use, the strips respond to increased LDH enzyme activity—an established biochemical marker that often rises when udder cells are compromised—so you can prioritize cows for follow-up diagnostics or treatment decisions.

How quickly can I get results with these test strips?

Each Bartovation LDH strip delivers a visible reaction within minutes, enabling same-day decisions at the parlor or in the barn. The readout is straightforward and designed for rapid interpretation by farm staff.

• Single-step dipping and waiting protocol
• Results typically readable within minutes
• Suitable for testing individual quarters or pooled milk

What does an LDH positive result mean for my herd?

An elevated LDH signal indicates increased enzyme activity in milk, which commonly correlates with udder tissue stress or infection. It flags cows that need closer monitoring, SCC testing, or veterinary assessment, enabling earlier response to potential mastitis.

• Identifies cows needing confirmatory SCC or bacteriology tests
• Helps prioritize animals for examination or isolation
• Supports herd-level surveillance and treatment planning

How do LDH strips compare with somatic cell count (SCC) testing?

LDH testing is a complementary, often earlier indicator of udder damage than SCC because LDH activity can rise before a large change in cell counts. LDH is generally less influenced by non-infectious variables like short-term stress or lactation stage, offering a reliable on-farm screening option that can reduce unnecessary lab tests.

• Cost-effective alternative for frequent cowside screening
• Often detects enzyme changes earlier than SCC shifts
• Less sensitive to temporary, non-infectious fluctuations

How should I use and interpret these 50-pack strips safely?

Follow the included instructions for sampling, dipping, timing, and comparing the strip to the reference chart. Use clean sampling techniques to avoid contamination, dispose of used strips responsibly, and combine results with clinical signs or follow-up laboratory tests before making treatment decisions.

• Collect milk aseptically from the quarter or pooled sample
• Dip strip, wait the recommended time, then compare colors to chart
• Record results and retest or confirm with SCC when needed

Who is this for? Bartovation Cow Milk LDH Test Strips are intended for dairy farmers, herd managers, veterinary technicians, and on-farm milk quality programs that need fast, affordable screening for subclinical mastitis. Ideal for producers who want routine cowside surveillance, quicker identification of problem animals, and a practical tool to reduce the time and cost of lab-dependent workflows.
