Quality profile of milk from high producing dairy cows vaccinated against mastitis
One of the raw milk quality criteria is the count of somatic cells, produced by the cow’s immune system to fight infectious diseases of the mammary gland.

Somatic Cell Count During and Between Milkings [PDF]
The objectives of the study were to determine 1) how sampling time between milkings affects the sensitivity and specificity of somatic cell count (SCC) as an indicator for intramammary infection (IMI) status, and 2) which cells are responsible for the diurnal variation in SCC. Six Prince Edward Island, Canada, dairy herds were selected. Quarter samples

The effect of teat cup liner type on the teat condition of Holstein primiparous cows [PDF]
The objective of this study was to test the effect of two different teat cup liners (difference in: head diameter, length, body shape and with / without of air vent) on the teat condition score after milking (hyperkeratosis, color and swellings) and ...

Characterization of distributions of somatic cell counts [PDF]
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.

A cohort study of the associations between udder conformation, milk somatic cell count, and lamb weight in suckler ewes [PDF]
A cohort study of 67 suckler ewes from 1 farm was carried out from January to May 2010 to investigate associations between udder conformation, udder half milk somatic cell count (SCC), and lamb weight. Ewes and lambs were observed at lambing.

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]
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

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.
