Summary

A preliminary study has been made of some relationships between the relative conductivity of milk and its cellular content and 3 basic relationships subjected to an extensive computer analysis. The results suggest that relative conductivity can be used to detect about 3 out of every 4 cows yielding milk samples from one or more quarters with a cellular content greater than 500000/ml, and about 4 out of every 5 cows with a cellular content greater than 1000000/ml. Less than 1 in 20 cows would be incorrectly detected as having cell counts greater than 500000/ml in milk from any one quarter.
