Investigation of the relationship between differential somatic cell count and milk culture

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2023
Milk culture is the gold standard for detection of intramam­mary infections (IMI) in dairy cows. Somatic cell count (SCC) is widely used for diagnosing subclinical mastitis, but its predic­tive value for detecting IMI is limited.

Genetic parameters for somatic cell score, differential somatic cell count, and milk electrical conductivity in dairy buffaloes

Italian Journal of Animal Science
Understanding the genetic architecture of economically important traits in dairy buffaloes is essential for implementing genetic selection and breeding strategies aimed at improving the productivity and profitability of dairy buffalo farming.

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.

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.

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

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 ...

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.
