Pathogen and severity-dependent immune responses in bovine mastitis: highlight the dynamics of differential somatic cell count. [PDF]
J Vet Med Sci, 2023 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 ...

Estimating the nonlinear interaction between somatic cell score and differential somatic cell count on milk production by parity using generalized additive models [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : This 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 production ...

Combining total and differential somatic cell count to screen for mastitis [PDF]
Acta Fytotechnica et Zootechnica, 2020 Somatic cell count (SCC) has been extensively used as indicator of udder health and milk quality. Recent developments in milk-testing technology have led to cell differentiation in milk in a high throughput manner.

Dairy Cows’ Health during Alpine Summer Grazing as Assessed by Milk Traits, Including Differential Somatic Cell Count: A Case Study from Italy [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Extensive summer grazing is a dairy herd management practice frequently adopted in mountainous areas. Nowadays, this activity is threatened by its high labour demand, but it is fundamental for environmental, touristic and economic implications, as well ...
