摘要：
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for monitoring the state of health of dairy cows, in particular of entire dairy herds. The method is based on analysing the haptoglobin (HP) biomarker and part of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR), the secretory component (Secretory Component, SC), in a milk sample. In particular, the claimed method and apparatus of the invention make it possible to diagnose mastitis or systemic diseases which occur outside the udder on the basis of the protein biomarker described here. The invention therefore makes it possible to regularly monitor the general state of health of a dairy herd. The present invention relates to non-invasive diagnostic methods and to apparatuses and diagnostic kits for carrying out these methods.
