Somatic Cell Count as an Indicator of Udder Health Status under Modern Dairy Production: a Review
Mastitis, an important disease of dairy animals, influences the quality and quantity of milk. Penetration of pathogenic microorganisms in the teat canal irritates and invades the delicate mammary tissue, causing an inflammatory response and consequent changes occur in the milk. Degree of these changes depends on the infecting agent and the inflammatory response. Mastitis, the inflammation of th...
متن کاملValidity of somatic cell count as indicator of pathogen-specific intramammary infections.
The objective of this study was to determine whether somatic cell count (SCC) was an effective test, with a sensitivity exceeding 85%, to determine species-specific bacterial infections. In addition, the relation between the SCC and various udder pathogen groups was investigated. SCC thresholds of greater than 200 000 cells/mL were used in quarter and greater than 150 000 cells/mL in composite ...
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 کاملThe Value & Use of Dairy Herd Improvement Somatic Cell Count
How Much Does Mastitis Cost You? The only way this question can be answered is to know how much mastitis is in your herd. Mastitis robs you in many ways: reduced milk production; treatment cost; discarded milk; death and premature culling; decreased genetic advancement; and reduced milk quality. Reduced milk production accounts for approximately 70% of the total loss associated with mastitis. U...
