The Relation of Mastitis to Rennet Coagulability and Curd Strength of Milk^*

Department of Dairy Industry, University of Wisconsin

ABSTRACT

Conclusion: Subclinical mastitis causes the milk to have a lower curd strength and to coagulate more slowly with rennet. This result was obtained both when entire milkings from normal and infected udders were compared as in Table 1, and when samples from infected quarters were compared with the milk from uninfected quarters of the same udder. This conclusion is further corroborated by the relatively greater constancy in the curd strength and rennet coagulation of milk from the four quarters of uninfected udders.
