California mastitis test an indirect test for bovine mastitis based on the presence of a high leukocyte count in mastitic milk. The test can be used in the milking shed or in the laboratory and as a test for individual quarters, or cows, or as a herd test.

It has faded in importance with the introduction of milk cell counts carried out electronically on automated equipment. See also brabant mastitis test. How to thank TFD for its existence?
