CMT

First Defense

| Product Features and Benefits

The CMT (California Mastitis Test) is a rapid cow-side test for early detection of mastitis, and for years has been a trusted tool of dairy producers. ImmuCell's CMT offers the same ease-of-use and accuracy as other brands, but at a lower cost per test. That alone is Intelligent Mastitis Management! But what really makes the ImmuCell CMT brand different is that we seek and provide ideas for using the kit more advantageously.

Easy
Anyone on the dairy can administer
the test.

Proven
Same reliable performance as other
CMT brands (data on file at ImmuCell).

Fast
Detect clinical and subclinical
mastitis in seconds.

Cost Effective
Savings per test over comparable
products or alternate methods.

Rugged
Environmental changes have little
effect on performance.

Intelligent Ways to Use ImmuCell CMT

  • Screen entire herd for subclinical mastitis at regular intervals.
  • Use DHIA composite data to ID cows and then use the CMT test to determine which quarter of the udder is mastitic.
  • Monitor lactating therapy to see if treatments are working.
  • Check your bulk tank for elevated SCC’s and address problems sooner: a positive CMT response in the bulk tank indicates a herd-wide subclinical mastitis problem.
  • Use in conjunction with the ImmuCell MASTiK® test to help to select antibiotics for mastitis therapy.

ImmuCell's purpose is to create scientifically-proven and practical products that result in a measurable economic impact on animal health and productivity in the dairy and beef industries.
