I have never used pool strips or any other kind of test strips. I always just look at what i get out of the mare. It will start clear and runny, get stickier, start to turn yellowish then to the consistency of honey and then right before they foal it will start to turn opaque, a little cloudy at first until it looks like skim milk. This method has worked for me for years.
My question is this. What turns the milk white? Calcium correct? So if you can see it, why use test strips? I realize that I cannot see PH level. Is there really an advantage to using test strips, do you really see anything more than you do with visual checks.
