Somatic cell score: gene polymorphisms and other effects in Holstein and Simmental cows [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2022 Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of gene polymorphisms and nongenetic factors on the somatic cell score (SCS) in the milk of Holstein (n = 148) and Simmental (n = 73) cows and their crosses (n = 6).

Association Analysis of SLC11A1 Polymorphisms with Somatic Cell Score in Chinese Holstein Cows [PDF]
AnimalsMastitis is an important disease limiting milk production in dairy cows. Somatic cell score is commonly used as one of the main ways to gauge the level of mastitis in dairy cows, with higher somatic cell scores usually indicating possible mastitis ...

Effect of Weeping Teats on Intramammary Infection and Somatic Cell Score in Dairy Goats [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Mastitis is the most common disease affecting dairy goats and causing economic losses. Although it is accepted that increased somatic cell count (SCC) is mainly a response to infection, its reliability for subclinical mastitis detection in goats is ...

Genome-wide association analysis of milk production, somatic cell score, and body conformation traits in Holstein cows [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Milk production and body conformation traits are critical economic traits for dairy cows. To understand the basic genetic structure for those traits, a genome wide association study was performed on milk yield, milk fat yield, milk fat percentage, milk ...

Genetic parameters for daily milk somatic cell score and relationships with yield traits of primiparous Holstein cattle in Iran [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2016 Background Despite the importance of relationships between somatic cell score (SCS) and currently selected traits (milk, fat and protein yield) of Holstein cows, there was a lack of comprehensive literature for it in Iran.

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2020 Background: Somatic cell score is an important parameter to predict milk quality and health of cows. However, in countries like Brazil, this trait is still not selected on a large scale, and no genetic parameters are reported in the literature. Objective:
