Differential Somatic Cell Count as a Marker for Changes of Milk Composition in Cows with Very Low Somatic Cell Count [PDF]
Animals, 2020 The recent availability of a high-throughput milk analyzer performing a partial differential somatic cell count (DSCC) opened new opportunities in investigations on bovine udder health.

A First Investigation into the Use of Differential Somatic Cell Count as a Predictor of Udder Health in Sheep [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Differential somatic cell count (DSCC), the percentage of somatic cell count (SCC) due to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and lymphocytes (LYMs), is a promising effective diagnostic marker for dairy animals with infected mammary glands. Well-explored

Association between differential somatic cell count and California Mastitis Test results in Holstein cattle [PDF]
JDS Communications, 2022 The California Mastitis Test (CMT) has been used to estimate total somatic cell count (SCC) levels in milk; however, milk with similar SCC levels occasionally shows inconsistent CMT results, which limits the use of the CMT. This observational study aimed

Total and Differential Somatic Cell Count in Italian Local Cattle Breeds: Phenotypic Variability and Effect on Milk Yield and Composition [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Milk differential somatic cell count (DSCC) represents the percentage of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and lymphocytes out of the total somatic cell count (SCC) and has been proposed in recent years as a proxy for udder health in dairy cows.

Genetic Parameters of Bovine Milk Fatty Acid Profile, Yield, Composition, Total and Differential Somatic Cell Count [PDF]
Animals, 2020 The growing interest of consumers for milk and dairy products of high nutritional value has pushed researchers to evaluate the feasibility of including fatty acids (FA) in selection programs to modify milk fat profile and improve its nutritional quality.

Impact of somatic cell count combined with differential somatic cell count on milk protein fractions in Holstein cattle [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2022 : Udder health in dairy herds is a very important issue given its implications for animal welfare and the production of high-quality milk. Somatic cell count (SCC) is the most widely used means of assessing udder health status.

Herd and animal factors affect the variability of total and differential somatic cell count in bovine milk. [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2023 This study investigated factors affecting the variability of somatic cell traits in bovine milk. Animal had greater influence on somatic cell score (SCS) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC) compared to herd factors. Herds producing high average of

Differential Somatic Cell Count: Value for Udder Health Management [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Intramammary infection (IMI) can cause mastitis, which is one of the costliest and most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle herds. Somatic cell count (SCC) is a well-established parameter to indicate IMI, and it represents the total count of immune cells ...

Differential Somatic Cell Count as a Novel Indicator of Milk Quality in Dairy Cows [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Recent available instruments allow to record the number of differential somatic cell count (DSCC), representing the combined proportion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes, on a large number of milk samples.

Differential leukocyte count method for bovine low somatic cell count milk [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2003 Whereas many differential leukocyte count methods for high somatic cell count (SCC) milk from mastitic cows are available, only a few have been developed for low SCC milk.
