These changes are seen and identified as, clots, abnormal colour or any other changes to the appearance of milk. These changes will be present in all the milk that the particular cow produces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOccasionally clots are seen in the first two or three squirts of milk from the cow. If the milk then returns to being clear, this is an indication that it is NOT clinical mastitis but a local reaction in the teat itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou do NOT need to carry out tests such as the California Mastitis Test (CMT) to decide if a cow has clinical mastitis.
