ANNEX C

Milk analysis

1. Milk analysis should be practiced thirty days before boarding and should always conduct a bacteriological examination as well as a White-Side-Test (WST) or a California Mastitis-Test (CMT). The results of these two tests should be negative, although the following will be taken into account:

(a) If the result of the bacteriological examination is positive while the result of WST (or CMT) is negative, a second bacteriological examination must be carried out at least ten days later. This second test should set:

i) The disappearance of pathogenic germs.

ii) The absence of antibiotics.

On the other hand, the absence of an inflammatory state must be verified by a new WST (or CMT) that must result in a negative result.

b) If the bacteriological examination is negative while the WST (or CMT) is positive, a complete cytological examination should be performed which shall be negative.

2. The bacteriological examination must involve:

a) The planting of milk in the TKT medium or in the middle of Edwards.

The bacteriological examination should allow for the identification of all pathogenic germs and should not be limited to the testing of streptococci and specifically pathogenic staphylococci. The identification of the colonies must be completed by the classical techniques, such as the use of the Chapman medium for the identification of staphylococci and other selective means for the detection of enterobacteriaceae.

3. When the number of leukocytes reaches the figure of one million per ml., according to the Breed technique, and the ratio between mononuclear and polynuclear is less than 0.5, the mammary inflammation is considered to be positive.
