Dairy cow mastitis is one of the common diseases of dairy cows, which will not only endanger the health of dairy cows but also affect the quality of milk. Dairy cow mastitis is an inflammatory reaction caused by pathogenic microorganisms and physical and

Intramammary infections induce the initiation of the inflammatory response, resulting in an increase in somatic cell count (SCC) in milk. The SCC includes several different types of cells but does not differentiate between them.

The objective of this study was to investigate the new differential somatic cell count (DSCC) as a supplementary indicator to SCC for the identification of intramammary infection (IMI) in dairy cows at the end of the lactation period. Different approaches for identification of cows with IMI (i.e. often based on SCC) and targeted antimicrobial treatment

Estimating the nonlinear interaction between somatic cell score and differential somatic cell count on milk production by parity using generalized additive models [PDF]
application/pdfThis observational study aimed to use somatic cell score (SCS) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC), the combined proportion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes in somatic cells, to investigate how mastitis affected milk ...

Pathogen and severity-dependent immune responses in bovine mastitis: highlight the dynamics of differential somatic cell count. [PDF]
Immune responses in bovine clinical mastitis (CM) probably differ depending on the causative pathogen and disease severity. The observational study aimed to investigate whether both factors are associated with the dynamics of immune indicators, including somatic cell score (SCS), white blood cell count (WBC), serum albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio, and ...

Repeatability of differential goat bulk milk culture and associations with somatic cell count, total bacterial count, and standard plate count [PDF]
The aims of this study were to assess how different bacterial groups in bulk milk are related to bulk milk somatic cell count (SCC), bulk milk total bacterial count (TBC), and bulk milk standard plate count (SPC) and to measure the repeatability of bulk ...

Combining total and differential somatic cell count to better assess the association of udder health status with milk yield, composition and coagulation properties in cattle [PDF]
The combined use of somatic cell count (SCC) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC), which is the ratio of neutrophils plus lymphocytes to total milk SCC, represents a novel approach to define cow’s udder health status, as it allows to identify ...

Cut-off values and genetic aspects of differential somatic cell count in dairy cows
The knowledge of the proportion of the different cell types in milk, rather than just the overall somatic cell count (SCC), could provide valuable information for a more precise definition of the health status of the udder.

Genetic parameters of differential somatic cell count, milk composition, and cheese-making traits measured and predicted using spectral data in Holstein cows [PDF]
Mastitis is one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle and is the cause of considerable economic losses. Alongside somatic cell count (SCC), differential somatic cell count (DSCC) has been recently introduced as a new indicator of intramammary ...
