Abstract

The Wisconsin Mastitis Test was subjected to a trial in five Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Brucellosis Ring Test Laboratories. The test was conducted by 15 laboratory technicians and was evaluated on two bases, namely (a) reproducibility and (b) correlation of the test results of the technicians with a standard. The reproducibility for the results of each technician and each laboratory was expressed as a coefficient of variability (average pooled C.V. 8.46%) and the correlation was expressed as correlation coefficients (average 0.96). The results of the field trial indicate that the Wisconsin mastitis test can perform as well under field conditions as in a research laboratory.
