Machine Learning Approach for Early Lactation Mastitis Diagnosis Using Total and Differential Somatic Cell Counts. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
Dairy herds around the world are undergoing several changes. Herd sizes are increasing, as are both milk yield and quality. The implementation of new technologies in various domains of dairy production is leading to an increase in the quantity of data available.

Inferring Causalities of Environmental and Genetic Factors for Differential Somatic Cell Count and Mastitis Pathogens in Dairy Cows Using Structural Equation Modelling [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2023
The aim of this study was to establish and evaluate a structural equation model to infer causal relationships among environmental and genetic factors on udder health.

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 ...

Genetic parameters for novel mastitis traits defined by combining test-day somatic cell score and differential somatic cell count in the first lactation of Japanese Holsteins [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science
In this study, we aimed to improve current udder health genetic evaluations by addressing the limitations of monthly sampled somatic cell score (SCS) for distinguishing cows with robust innate immunity from those susceptible to chronic infections. The objectives were to (1) establish novel somatic cell traits by integrating SCS and the differential ...

Investigation of differential somatic cell count as a potential new supplementary indicator to somatic cell count for identification of intramammary infection in dairy cows at the end of the lactation period

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2019
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

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

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.

Differential somatic cell count—A novel method for routine mastitis screening in the frame of Dairy Herd Improvement testing programs [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2017
Somatic cell count (SCC) is used as key indicator in mastitis screening programs typically applied in the frame of Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) testing programs. However, mastitis is still causing tremendous economic losses to the dairy industry. Hence, new biomarkers are needed that can be used for enhanced management of mastitis on dairy farms ...

Investigation of dairy cow performance in different udder health groups defined based on a combination of somatic cell count and differential somatic cell count

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2020
Mastitis is still the costliest disease in milk production. In particular, its subclinical form, which may spread unnoticeably within a herd, is a major challenge. Somatic cell count (SCC) is broadly used as an indicator for mastitis and thus the basis for udder health management programmes, e.g. through dairy herd improvement (DHI) testing.

Short communication: Genetic aspects of milk differential somatic cell count in Holstein cows: A preliminary analysis [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2019
The aim of the present study was to assess genetic variation and heritability of a novel indicator of udder health, milk differential somatic cell count (DSCC), which represents the percentage of neutrophils plus lymphocytes in the total somatic cell count (SCC).

Cut‐off value of somatic cell count and validation of differential somatic cell count by the fluoro‐optical method in subclinical mastitis milk in three sheep breeds

International Journal of Dairy Technology
Somatic cell count (SCC) is a test used for mastitis control in ewes, but there is no consensus on the cut‐off value. Other markers of subclinical mastitis (SCM) have been proposed as potentially more efficient, sensitive and specific, such as differential somatic cell count (DSCC).
