 UdderCheckTM measures Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), an enzyme present in milk when cells are damaged during an udder infection. LDH is correlated to SCC, but is not as easily affected by other conditions such as stress, nutrition, parity, stage of lactation, etc. LDH levels often rise earlier than somatic cell counts, making it an excellent marker for early detection of udder infections. Several robotic milking systems have recently incorporated the measurement of LDH as an early indicator of mastitis and to monitor udder health. |
