This study aims to develop a machine learning model to identify bovine subclinical mastitis (SCM) by analyzing milk biomarkers, specifically electric conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS). Field data on these biomarkers are processed through a central network system and cross-referenced with a library database. The standardized cutoff values for SCM detection are 6.16 mS/cm for EC and 3100 mg/L for TDS, based on samples from 108 cows. The system, currently under development, is intended to alert veterinary authorities or dairy owners about SCM onset for timely management.
