It is made for dairy farmers, herd managers and smallholders who want a quick, repeatable way to monitor udder health as part of the milking routine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat sets this paddle apart is its domed cup-bottoms, which make coagulation and gel formation much easier to see, and its tilt lines marked for both left and right hand use so every member of the team reads results the same way. It is best for yards and parlours that test regularly and need equipment that rinses clean and keeps going.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour test cups\u003c\/strong\u003e - check each quarter in one go\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDomed cup-bottoms\u003c\/strong\u003e - enhanced coagulation visibility for clearer reading\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTilt lines left and right\u003c\/strong\u003e - consistent results for either hand\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth handle\u003c\/strong\u003e - comfortable grip, easy to wipe down\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible polypropylene\u003c\/strong\u003e - durable construction for long-lasting quality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick to rinse\u003c\/strong\u003e - practical between animals in the parlour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrunogelle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoof Super Mastitis Test Paddle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolypropylene, flexible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCups\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour, domed bottoms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmooth, tilt lines for left and right hand use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilk testing \/ udder health monitoring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReagent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eClean the teats and draw away the first few squirts of milk from each quarter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDraw a small sample of milk from each quarter into its own cup on the paddle.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTilt the paddle to the marked tilt line so each cup holds an equal measure, pouring off the excess.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdd an equal volume of your chosen test reagent to each cup.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSwirl the paddle gently in a horizontal circular motion for a few seconds to mix.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRead the reaction in each cup against the domed bottom, looking for thickening or gel formation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRinse all four cups thoroughly with clean water and allow to drain and dry before storing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more yard and animal health equipment in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stable-yard-equipment\"\u003estable and yard equipment collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Brunogelle Shoof Super Mastitis Test Paddle used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt holds four separate milk samples, one from each quarter, so you can mix them with a test reagent and observe the reaction as part of routine udder health monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the test reagent included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The paddle is supplied on its own and the test solution is purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the cup-bottoms domed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe domed shape concentrates the mixture and improves visibility of coagulation, making it easier to judge whether a gel has formed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan left-handed users use this paddle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
