Relationship of early first lactation somatic cell count with risk of subsequent first clinical mastitis
The relationship between initial Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and time to first clinical mastitis was estimated from data including 20,422 Holstein heifers, without clinical signs of mastitis during the first month of lactation and with a first test day SCC lower than 400,000 cells /ml. Number of days from 35 days after first calving to first clinical mastitis event in first or second lactation was...
متن کاملDirect and indirect measurement of somatic cell count as indicator of intramammary infection in dairy goats
BACKGROUND Mastitis is the most important and costly disease in dairy goat production. Subclinical mastitis is common in goats and is mainly caused by contagious bacteria. Several methods to diagnose subclinical mastitis are available. In this study indirect measurement of somatic cell count (SCC) by California Mastitis Test (CMT) and direct measurement of SCC using a portable deLaval cell coun...
متن کاملRelationship of Somatic Cell Count and Mastitis: An Overview
Mastitis is characterized by physical, chemical and bacteriological changes in the milk and pathological changes in the glandular tissue of the udder and affects the quality and quantity of milk. The bacterial contamination of milk from the affected cows render it unfit for human consumption and provides a mechanism of spread of diseases like tuberculosis, sore-throat, Q-fever, brucellosis, lep...

متن کاملGenetic and environmental relationships among somatic cell count, bacterial infection, and clinical mastitis.
Incidence of bacterial infection in 9784 lactations of 7763 cows in 31 herds, SCC in 32,448 lactations of 19,764 cows from 54 herds, and incidence of first parity mastitis recorded in the first lactations of 148,143 cows in 828 herds were analyzed. Bacterial infection was analyzed dichotomously by both threshold and linear models. The effects of parity, season, stage of lactation, and parity by...
