Laboratory studies have established that out of 226 lactating cows, 62 cows were diagnosed with subclinical mastitis by counting somatic cells, which is 27.43%. Similar results were found out when using Testmastin, Somatest and SMT Somatic Test. Application of the Cenotest made it possible to detect subclinical mastitis in 61 cows (26.99%) and the accuracy of the test compared to the calculation of somatic cells, which is the most accurate of the existing methods, was 98.39%. AF Masttest revealed subclinical mastitis only in 51 cows (22.57%), and its accuracy did not exceed 82.26%, which is 17.74% lower compared to Testmastin, Somatest, SMT Somatic test, somatic cell count and Cenotest - by 1.61%.
