What is the procedure for Milk ring test?

Answer Posted / samantha bodnar

A milk test called Brucellosis Ring Test (BRT) is conducted
in dairies two to four times a year by testing a small
sample obtained from the creamery or farm milk tank for
evidence of brucellosis. Milk from each cow in the herd is
pooled and a sample is taken for testing. A suspension of
killed Brucella organisms is added to a small amount of
milk. If the test is positive, a bluish ring forms at the
cream line as the cream rises. All positive herds are
investigated. (from
