Use of somatic cell count as an indicator of colostrum quality [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2020
The impact of cow mammary gland diseases on the quality of colostrum is not conclusively defined; research results are conflicting. However, it is widely believed that mastitis lowers the level of immunoglobulins and the quality of the colostrum produced.

Electronic Counting of Somatic Cells in Milk

Journal of Dairy Science, 1967
Abstract Several procedures were developed and evaluated to find a satisfactory method for electronic counting of somatic cells in milk. Best results were obtained when milk was prepared for counting by a) diluting 1:50 with 0.85% saline, b) centrifuging 10ml of the diluted milk at a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 1,020 for 15min at 4C, c ...

A Lactation Measure of Somatic Cell Count

Journal of Dairy Science, 1987
Adjustments and weights to combine individual sample day SCC into a lactation measure were developed from 182,446 Holstein lactation records completed in 1984 from herds primarily in the western United States. Data included 1,660,782 sample day SCC expressed as log base 2 scores.

Relationship of herd average somatic cell count and spontaneous recovery from subclinical mastitis [PDF]

, 1985
The rate of spontaneous recovery from subclinical mastitis was evaluated in 56 Kansas. DHI herds participating in the Somatic Cell Count (SCC) program. Herds were classified as low (>300,000) or high (>600,000) based on herd sec average.

A First Investigation into the Use of Differential Somatic Cell Count as a Predictor of Udder Health in Sheep [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Differential somatic cell count (DSCC), the percentage of somatic cell count (SCC) due to polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and lymphocytes (LYMs), is a promising effective diagnostic marker for dairy animals with infected mammary glands. Well-explored

Somatic cell count in dairy goats II: udder health monitoring at goat and herd level [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Mastitis is a costly disease affecting dairy ruminants worldwide. Somatic cell count is the most widely used tool for udder health monitoring but is highly influenced by non-infectious factors in goats.

Neural Network-Aided Milk Somatic Cell Count Increase Prediction [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Subclinical mastitis (SM) is the most economically damaging yet often visually undetectable disease of dairy cows. Early detection and treatment can reduce the loss caused by the disease; thus, the continuous improvement of SM diagnostic methods is ...

Models to Estimate Lactation Curves of Milk Yield and Somatic Cell Count in Dairy Cows at the Herd Level for the Use in Simulations and Predictive Models [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016
Typically, central milk recording data from dairy herds are recorded less than monthly. Over-fitting early in lactation periods is a challenge, which we explored in different ways by reducing the number of parameters needed to describe the milk yield and

Ontario Bulk Milk Somatic Cell Count Reduction Program. 1. Impact on Somatic Cell Counts and Milk Quality

Journal of Dairy Science, 1992
The objective of this study was to evaluate the bulk milk SCC control program in Ontario and to observe the effect of the program on milk components and milk quality. The data were from the approximately 9500 farms in Ontario, Canada. Data on milk quality, milk components, and kilograms of milk produced were collected monthly from January 1985 through ...
