Bartovation Milk Ketone Test For BHB in Cow Milk

An easy-to-use on-farm milk test is available to detect sub-clinical ketosis in transition dairy cows. Unlike a urine test, this dipstick milk test detects BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate) and its results correlate well with the serum ketone test. High levels of BHB indicate the presence of ketosis, which is a metabolic disorder that signals a negative energy balance. The test requires no additional equipment and provides a convenient and reliable way to detect ketosis in dairy cows.
