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

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.

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.

Genetic correlations among somatic cell scores, productive life, and type traits from the United States and udder health measures from Denmark and Sweden [PDF]
, 1998 Sire genetic evaluations for protein yield, somatic cell score (SCS), productive life, and udder type traits from the US were correlated with sire evaluations for udder health from Denmark and Sweden and then the correlations were adjusted for accuracies

Response to somatic cell count-based selection for mastitis resistance in a divergent selection experiment in sheep [PDF]
, 2009 A divergent selection experiment in sheep was implemented to study the consequences of log-transformed somatic cell score (SCS)-based selection on resistance to natural intramammary infections.

Genetic parameters for milk somatic cell score and relationships with production traits in primiparous dairy sheep [PDF]
, 2007 A total of 13,066 first-lactation test-day records of 2,277 Valle del Belice ewes from 17 flocks were used to estimate genetic parameters for somatic cell scores (SCS) and milk production traits, using a repeatability test-day animal model.

Cow, farm, and herd management factors in the dry period associated with raised somatic cell counts in early lactation [PDF]
, 2008 This study investigated cow characteristics, farm facilities, and herd management strategies during the dry period to examine their joint influence on somatic cell counts (SCC) in early lactation.
