dc.description.abstract 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. en_ZA
