The diagnosis of bovine mastitis : a critical evaluation of a polyvalent radial immunodiffusion test and other methods
Giesecke, W.H.; Van den Heever, Louwrens Wepener; Du Toit, I.J.; Beyer, Maria C. E.; De Kock, V.E.; De Lange, M.; Bigalke, R.D.; Howell, P.G.; Reinecke, R.K.; Walker, Jane B.
A critically comparative investigation was performed on 228 quarter samples from 26 Friesland-type dairy cows respectively to evaluate the diagnostic value of conventional direct and indirect cytological methods and a single radial immunodiffusion test based on a polyvalent antiserum.
Data obtained suggest considerable diagnostic inaccuracies for all the methods tested. The lack of an adequate "mastitis standard" prevented a precise determination of the magnitude of the diagnostic inaccuracies.
