Abstract
Summary Cell counts and California Mastitis Test (CMT) scores were compared on 1,214 individual quarter samplings, Despite the fact that there was a high correlation (>0.85) between CMT score and log of cell count, almost half (48.8%) of the quarters were misclassified by the CMT as compared to the cell counts obtained from Breed smears. These data indicate that the CMT conducted on a single foremilk sample is a poor estimator of the inflammatory status of the quarter.Keywords
