Hi, I'm Rhonda, and this is Buttercup

Today we're going to talk a little bit about mastitis and how to do the California
0:10
mastitis test. You can do this as often as you are comfortable with for your cow
0:16
We do it once a month or anytime you suspect something may be going on with her
0:20
Your kit's going to come with your paddles, your concentrate, a bottle to dilute the
0:26
concentrate in, and then a sheet with all kinds of frequently asked questions
0:29
questions and instructions and to let you know what you're looking for. Your cups are
0:35
labeled, A, B, C, D. So we're going to put this in here for A, B, B, I'm going to fill them up
0:48
C, D. You going to swirl it around and just kind of tilt it You don want you want it just to cover the bottom of the cup Any excess if you tilt it a little any excess will just fall out of there
1:11
And you'll take your concentrate and you're going to put an equal amount of concentrate to
1:16
the amount of milk you have in your cup, okay? So we're going to put equal amounts
1:26
And I can already tell you this is a beautiful test. Because if you swirl it around, there's no jelling, there's no slimy
1:38
I don't know if you can tell that on the video or not, but it just looks like you've got a beautiful grape milk when I swirled around
1:45
That tells me there's absolutely nothing wrong in there. There's a chart in your kit that will tell you if you see something slimy or jelly or
1:52
clumpy, what you're looking at. And that is the simple way to do a California Mastite's guest
1:58
Now we're going to milk
