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.

Development of Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (MIR) Diagnostic Model for Udder Health Status of Dairy Cattle [PDF]
AnimalsThe somatic cell count (SCC) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC) are proxies for the udder health of dairy cattle, regarded as the criterion of mastitis identification with healthy, suspicious mastitis, mastitis, and chronic/persistent mastitis ...

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]
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2020 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 ...

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.

Cytokine profile, differential somatic cell count, and oxidative status of Italian Mediterranean buffalo milk affected by the temperature–humidity index [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIn the context of climate change, there has been an increased interest in improving management practices for animals genetically adapted to extreme environmental conditions, such as buffaloes. The temperature–humidity index (THI) is used to determine the

Cytospin Centrifuge in Differential Counts of Milk Somatic Cells
Journal of Dairy Science, 1982 A procedure was developed for a cytospin centrifuge to concentrate cells from milk onto microscope slides in a circle with 6 mm diameter. Differential somatic cell counts with cytospin were compared to the conventional hand smearing technique to ascertain variation in differential counts.

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.
