Abstract

The use of a rolling ball viscometer to estimate the cell count of milk treated with California Mastitis Reagent is described. The method compares favorably with the direct microscopic count and requires relatively simple apparatus and unskilled operators. A correlation coefficient for mean count and log viscometer time of 0.93 with a coefficient of variation of 8.1% were obtained. The repeatability of viscometer readings was 0.97.
