Monitoring goat and sheep milk somatic cell counts
The milk somatic cell count (MSCC) forms the basis of abnormal milk control programs world wide for goats, cows and sheep. To better understand factors that contribute to elevations in MSCC, the effects of stage of lactation, parity, breed and state/area in the United States (US) on MSCC were examined. Least squares means were calculated on composite milk somatic cell scores from 26,607 goats, ...
متن کاملMonitoring udder health and milk quality using somatic cell counts.
In this article the use of somatic cell counts for monitoring udder health and milk quality is discussed. Somatic cell count dynamics at quarter, cow, herd and population level are discussed and illustrated with examples. Quarter and cow somatic cell counts directly represent the inflammatory status of the mammary gland. Herd and population somatic cell count are related to the inflammatory pro...
متن کاملEffect of Total and Differential Somatic Cell Counts, Lactation Stage and Lactation Number on Lipolysis and Physicochemical Composition in Camel (Camelus dromedaries) and Cow Milk
The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of somatic cell counts (SCC), differential SCC (macrophage (MAC), lymphocyte (LYM) and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)), number and stage lactation on milk composition in camel and cow milk. Camel milk appeared to contain significantly (P
متن کاملCalculated milk production losses associated with elevated somatic cell counts in dairy cows: review and critical discussion.
Relationships between somatic cell count (SCC) and variation in milk production at the cow level were reviewed to provide average reference values suitable for the assessment of economic losses due to subclinical mastitis. The literature analysis involved 19 papers, defining milk yield and/or its composition either at test-day level or at the whole lactation level as statistical unit. Within ea...
متن کاملManagement factors and cow traits influencing milk somatic cell counts and teat hyperkeratosis during different seasons
The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of season, parity, stage of lactation and milking procedures on teat-end condition, cow cleanliness and milk somatic cell count (SCC) and identify risk factors associated with milk somatic cell counts greater than 100,000 cells/mL. A group of 15 Italian dairy farms were visited three times during different seasons: the cold (3.8 °C), the hot ...
