Scout infection and quickly discover more milk, a healthier herd, and an improved bottom line.

Mastitis in Europe steals billions each year, which translates to about €250 per cow every year.

The big reason that mastitis has such an impact on the dairy industry is because subclinical mastitis goes undetected.

The on-farm rapid diagnostic test that accurately detects subclinical mastitis in individual quarters.

QScout® MLD

Provides information that empowers producers to achieve:

  • Higher milk production
  • Lower Somatic Cell Count
  • Data driven decisions
  • Increased cow longevity
  • Enhanced reproductivity
  • Justified use of antibiotics
  • Improved animal welfare

With results in just minutes

The QScout MLD test identifies subclinical mastitis on a quarter basis to prevent economic losses

Unlike conventional testing the QScout MLD (Milk Leukocyte Differential) test:

  • Detects subclinical mastitis early
  • Provides rapid results
  • Tells you which quarter is infected
  • Doesn’t require aseptic collection
  • Isn’t fooled by sample contamination
  • Does it all conveniently on the farm

Early lactation trial results:

  • Cows were tested at 7-14 days in milk
    (DIM) for subclinical mastitis
  • Cows testing positive for subclinical mastitis were equally split into treatment and no treatment groups

Milk Production and Quality Advantage:

  • Cows in the treatment group out-produced those in the no treatment group by an average of 1,325 pounds/601 kilograms of milk at 305 day ME with a milk quality advantage of 115,000 fewer somatic cells/mL.

QScout MLD brings new science to solve an old problem, providing a differential cell count of infection-fighting leukocytes (white blood cells).

Each white blood cell type plays a key role in fighting infection:

  • Lymphocytes and macrophages scout for pathogens
  • Neutrophils fight infection by engulfing bacteria and by releasing enzymes to kill bacteria
  • Macrophages engulf and digest cellular debris
    and pathogens

They know when mastitis is threatening long before SCC can tell you.

How it works:

1.

Collect quarter milk samples in a Q4 collection device

2.

Snap on the QScout MLD test, flip and tap

3.

Insert the test into the QScout Farm Lab

Real world examples...

  • Early Lactation
  • Composite SCC: 94,000/mL
  • QScout sees left front quarter as infected with subclinical mastitis
  • Detect and treat infection that would otherwise go undiscovered and become a more costly clinical mastitis case

Real world examples...

  • Early Lactation
  • Composite SCC: 122,000/mL
  • QScout sees left rear and left front quarter as infected with subclinical mastitis
  • Detect and treat infection that would otherwise go undiscovered and become a more costly clinical mastitis case
