Direct labeling of milk cells without centrifugation for counting total and differential somatic cells using flow cytometry

Journal of Dairy Science, 2022
: Somatic cell count (SCC) in milk is an essential indicator for defining and managing udder health. However, analyzing differential SCC (dSCC) can be helpful in determining the type or evolution stage of mastitis.

Usefulness of differential somatic cell count for udder health monitoring: Effect of intramammary infections, days in milk, quarter location, and parity on quarter-level differential somatic cell count and somatic cell score in apparently healthy dairy cows

Journal of Dairy Science
: Microbial infections of the mammary gland often cause mastitis, and it can lead to substantial economic losses within the dairy industry due to its direct negative impact on milk production and composition and the associated treatment costs.

Milk Biomarkers and Herd Welfare Status in Dairy Cattle: A Machine Learning Approach [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Routine milk-recording data may provide valuable insights into dairy cow welfare, although their ability to accurately reflect herd-level welfare outcomes remains unclear.

Evaluating Welfare, Milk Quality and Yield of Rendena Cows in Loose vs. Tied Housing Systems [PDF]

Animals
The objectives of this study were (i) to analyze the ClassyFarm welfare scores in loose housing system (LHS) and tied housing system (THS) Rendena herds, and (ii) to investigate the influence of the housing on individual milk yield and quality traits in ...

Advantages and Challenges of Differential Immune Cell Count Determination in Blood and Milk for Monitoring the Health and Well-Being of Dairy Cows

Veterinary Sciences, 2022
A key challenge of the 21st century will be to provide the growing world population with a sustainable and secure supply of food. Consequently, the dairy farming’s primary task is to lower milk losses and other inefficiencies associated with diseased ...

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. We have developed a flow cytometric differential leukocyte count method for low SCC milk. The procedure consists of 1) 1.5 ml of diluted milk sample (30%, vol/vol dilution with PBS),

Udder health-related traits in cow milk: phenotypic variability and effect on milk yield and composition

Animal, 2023
The milk differential somatic cell count (DSCC) has been proposed in recent years as a mean by which to better monitor the udder health status (UHS) in dairy cows.

Using High-Resolution Differential Cell Counts (HRDCCs) in Bovine Milk and Blood to Monitor the Immune Status over the Entire Lactation Period

Animals, 2022
Differential cell counts in milk offer a deeper insight into the immunology of the mammary gland and might even provide information about the systemic health status of a dairy cow.

Deeper exploration of inflammatory cell populations in milk to monitor udder health in dairy cows

Scientia Agricola, 2023
The present study explored the predictive values of milk leukocyte differentials (MLD) as a basis for improving the diagnosis of intramammary infections (IMIs) and subclinical mastitis.

Differential somatic cell count as an additional indicator for intramammary infections in dairy cows [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2020
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.
