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).

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.

Potential of Differential Somatic Cell Counts as Indicators of Mastitis in Quarter Milk Samples from Dairy Cows [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1989
Bacteriological status, somatic cell counts and proportions of lymphocytes, granulocytes and monocytes were determined in 1,659 quarter milk samples from 39 dairy cows. Discriminant analysis was performed in order to assess the ability of total and differential somatic cell counts and combinations of total somatic cell count and each of the ...

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

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.

Assessment of subclinical mastitis diagnostic accuracy by differential cell count in individual cow milk

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
The progressive decrease of mean SCC in dairy herds worldwide is affecting SCC accuracy as a subclinical mastitis marker. This evidence supports studies aiming to apply differential cell count (DSCC) as a tool to identify mastitis.

How heat stress conditions affect milk yield, composition, and price in Italian Holstein herds

Journal of Dairy Science, 2023
: An edited data set of 700 bulk and 46,338 test-day records collected between 2019 and 2021 in 42 Holstein-dominated farms in the Veneto Region (North of Italy) was available for the present study.

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

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
