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.

Genetic parameters of differential somatic cell count, milk composition, and cheese-making traits measured and predicted using spectral data in Holstein cows [PDF]

, 2021
Mastitis is one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle and is the cause of considerable economic losses. Alongside somatic cell count (SCC), differential somatic cell count (DSCC) has been recently introduced as a new indicator of intramammary ...

Hyperketonemia Predictions Provide an On-Farm Management Tool with Epidemiological Insights

Animals, 2021
Prediction of hyperketonemia (HYK), a postpartum metabolic disorder in dairy cows, through use of cow and milk data has allowed for high-throughput detection and monitoring during monthly milk sampling.

Factors Affecting the Patterns of Total Amount and Proportions of Leukocytes in Bovine Milk

Animals, 2020
Differential leukocyte count (DSCC) in milk is considered important to improve knowledge of udder immune response. The investigations on milk DSCC were limited by the techniques available until recently, when a high-throughput tool to perform DSCC opened

Integration of Differential and Total Somatic Cell Counts for Udder Health Classification: Association with Milk Lactose Concentration

Cluj Veterinary Journal
Mastitis is one of the most important diseases in dairy cattle, impairing milk yield, composition, and animal welfare. Somatic cell count (SCC) is the traditional indicator of udder health, but it does not provide information on leukocyte composition ...

Management interventions in dairy herds: exploring within herd uncertainty using an integrated Bayesian model [PDF]

, 2009
Knowledge of the efficacy of an intervention for disease control on an individual farm is essential to make good decisions on preventive healthcare, but the uncertainty in outcome associated with undertaking a specific control strategy has rarely been ...

Exploiting machine learning methods with monthly routine milk recording data and climatic information to predict subclinical mastitis in Italian Mediterranean buffaloes

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Mastitis has detrimental effects on the world's dairy industry, reducing animal health, milk production and quality, as well as income for farmers. In addition, consumers' growing interest in food safety and rational usage of antibiotics highlights the
