1. Úvod
The Draminski MD1Q Cow Mastitis Detector is an electronic device designed for the early detection of subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. This device measures changes in milk resistance, which can indicate inflammatory conditions in the udder before visible symptoms appear. Early detection allows for timely intervention, contributing to improved herd health and milk quality. This manual provides essential information for the proper use, maintenance, and care of your MD1Q detector.

5. Návod k obsluze
Follow these steps for accurate mastitis detection:
- Příprava: Ensure the device's collection cup is clean and dry. Identify the cow and the specific quarter of the udder to be tested.
- Sbírejte Sampten: Discard the first few streams of milk from the selected quarter. Then, milk directly into the device's collection cup until it is filled to the indicated level (usually marked inside the cup). Avoid overfilling or underfilling.
- Activate Measurement: Turn on the device (if not already on). The device will automatically begin measuring the electrical conductivity of the milk sample.
- Výsledky čtení: Wait for the reading to stabilize on the digital display. The display will show a numerical value, typically representing milk conductivity. Consult the device's specific interpretation guidelines (often provided on a sticker or in a separate quick guide) to understand what values indicate a healthy udder versus potential mastitis. Generally, higher conductivity values suggest inflammation.
- Data záznamu: For effective herd management, record the results for each quarter of each cow tested.
- Vyčistěte zařízení: Immediately after each use, empty the milk from the cup and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. Refer to the Maintenance section for detailed cleaning instructions.
- Repeat for Other Quarters: Repeat the process for all four quarters of the udder, cleaning the cup between each quarter to prevent cross-contamination.
Poznámka: Environmental factors and individual cow variations can influence readings. Consistent testing and comparison with baseline values are recommended for best results. Consult a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of mastitis.
6. Údržba
6.1. Čištění
- Po každém použití: Rinse the milk collection cup and electrodes thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water immediately after each sample. This prevents milk residue buildup.
- Pravidelný úklid: Periodically, clean the cup and electrodes with a mild, non-abrasive detergent solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterwards to remove all detergent residue.
- Sušení: Allow the cup and electrodes to air dry completely before storage. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals for cleaning.
