The effect of mastitis on acid degree values and lipase activity of milk was investigated using quarter milk samples obtained from individual cows. Both acid degree values and ]ipase activity were signiilcantly higher (P<0.01) in the Wisconsin Mastitis positive (>20 ram) samples than in the corresponding negative samples (<10 ram). Initial acid degree values for the mastitis positive (>20 ram) samples were 35 to 40% higher than for the negative samples. This relationship was also observed when lipolysis was spontaneous or induced. Lipase activity of the positive samples was approximately 7% higher than for the negative samples.
