Relationship between total and differential quarter somatic cell counts at dry-off and early lactation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Mastitis is a most common disease of dairy cows and causes tremendous economic loss to the dairy industry worldwide. Somatic cell counts (SCC) reflect the inflammatory response to infections and is a metric used as key indicator in mastitis screening ...

Exploring the sources of variation of electrical conductivity and total and differential somatic cell count in Italian Mediterranean buffaloes [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 In the buffalo dairy sector, a huge effort is still needed to improve mastitis prevention, detection, and management. Electrical conductivity (EC) and total somatic cell count (SCC) are well-known indirect indicators of mastitis. Differential somatic cell count (DSCC), which represents the proportion of neutrophils and lymphocytes on the total SCC, is ...

Somatic (CSS) and differential cell count (DCC) during a lactation period in ass’milk [PDF]
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Hypoallergenic properties of ass’s milk protein fractions have been recently con- firmed, allowing ass’s milk to be considered as a valid substitute of the available hypoallergenic infant formulas.

Differential somatic cell count as an additional indicator for intramammary infections in dairy cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2019 Mastitis, often caused by intramammary infection (IMI), is a significant problem in dairy farming globally. Somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used as a parameter for screening IMI in cows that are then treated or culled. We investigated the potential of a new parameter, differential SCC (DSCC), to detect IMI at cow level when SCC is already known.

Associations between differential somatic cell count and milk yield, quality, and technological characteristics in Holstein cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2021 The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between differential somatic cell count (DSCC) and milk quality and udder health traits, and for the first time, between DSCC and milk coagulation properties and cheesemaking traits in a population of 1,264 Holstein cows reared in northern Italy.

A Study on Differential Biomarkers in the Milk of Holstein Cows with Different Somatic Cells Count Levels [PDF]
Animals, 2023 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

Dynamics of somatic cell count (SCC) and differential SCC during and following intramammary infections [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2021 Somatic cell count is frequently used as an indicator of intramammary infections (IMI) in dairy cattle worldwide. The newly introduced differential SCC (DSCC) can potentially contribute to detection of IMI. The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamics of SCC and DSCC after IMI.

Journal of Dairy ScienceABSTRACT: Mastitis poses significant economic challenges for dairy farms. Therefore, enhancing the accuracy of diagnostic methods for detecting IMI can potentially improve prevention, control, and treatment strategies. The SCC is a well-established parameter for identifying inflammation resulting from IMI.
