The importance of somatic cell count in dairy technology
Mljekarstvo, 2023 Mastitis is an important infection that affects herd health, udder health and milk yield of individual animals. Somatic cells (SCs) naturally present in milk are used as an indicator of subclinical mastitis, but also to assess milk quality and safety ...

Twist and Flip to a Lower Somatic Cell Count
American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 1998 Well managed dairy herds frequently have significant clinical mastitis problems due to Strep species, Staph species and other common environmental organisms. In addition, somatic cell counts in these same types of herds frequently are higher than management would like to see.

Milk quality in small farms from Southern Region of Brazil [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2020 : This study aimed to evaluates some physical chemical aspects of chilled raw milk that meet Brazilian quality standards in smallholder farms from southern Region of Brazil. The fat content, crude protein (CP), total solids (TS), somatic cell count (SCC),

Journal of Dairy Science, 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 ...

Characterization of distributions of somatic cell counts [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2009 There is more useful information in distributions of somatic cell count (SCC) than is currently used in practice. Analysis of SCC of individual quarters (n = 450,834 quarter records of 133,102 cows) showed that the presence of pathogens did not change the peak of the SCC distribution.

Distribution of somatic cell count and udder pathogens in Norwegian dairy goats.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2021 Compared with dairy cows, goat somatic cell count (SCC) is higher and probably more affected by physiological factors such as parity, stage of lactation, and season. Thus, SCC is believed to be a less precise indicator of intramammary infections in dairy

A Practical Application of Genomic Predictions for Mastitis Resistance in Italian Holstein Heifers
Animals, 2022 Heifers are a fundamental resource on farms, and their importance is reflected in both farm management and economy. Therefore, the selection of heifers to be reared on a farm should be carefully performed to select only the best animals.

Monitoring Milk Somatic Cell Counts [PDF]
Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Food Science and Technology, 2014 The presence of somatic cells in milk is a widely disputed issue in milk production sector. The somatic cell counts in raw milk are a marker for the specific cow diseases such as mastitis or swollen udder. The high level of somatic cells causes physical and chemical changes to milk composition and nutritional value, and as well to milk products.
