Milk Amyloid A (MAA) is an Acute Phase Protein biomarker specific to clinical and subclinical mastitis. MAA has been extensively evaluated and is now considered a better alternative to existing methods for the early diagnosis of mastitis in Dairy Herd Improvement testing program.
Based on an ELISA method, the MAA kits are designed to determine the amount of Amyloid A in raw milk in order to make an early diagnosis of mastitis, thus preserving animal welfare, improving milk production and reducing the use of antibiotics.
