Relationship between total and differential quarter somatic cell counts at dry-off and early lactation.

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 ...

Association of Differential Somatic Cell Count with Antibiotic Success Following an Intramammary Infection

Dairy
Historically, methods to detect subclinical mastitis have been used to aid treatment decisions. The limitations of these tests have led to the exploration of the use of differential somatic cell count (DSCC).

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.

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 ...

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.

Cell Differentiation of Bovine Milk Control Samples to Improve Prognosis of Mastitis Cure

Antibiotics, 2022
To optimise udder health at the herd level, identifying incurable mastitis cases as well as providing an adequate therapy and culling strategy are necessary. Cows with clinical mastitis should be administered antibiotic medication if it is most likely to
