A method of detecting mastitis in cows by means of a mastitis detector of the flow type which includes a measuring unit with a measuring chamber (1, 1') for each cow's teat with inlet and outlet openings (2, 3, 4) allowing passage of milk from the cow's teat, said measuring chamber (1, 1') being provided with a pair of electrodes (5, 6) for measuring the conductivity of the milk flow. According to the invention the conductivity of the milk from one of the cow's teats is compared with the conductivity of the milk from one or more of the remaining cow's teats. When the difference exceeds a predetermined value, an indication is provided and an alarm is optionally activated. |
