Bulk tank somatic cell count (BTSCC) is a gold standard test for identification of milk quality, but its results are influenced by several interventional factors. Recently, application of acute phase proteins and especially milk amyloid A (MMA) has been considered as accurate parameters for milk quality study. The current research was done to evaluate the accuracy of MMA, BTSCC, fat, protein an...

Since 1994 (de-regulation) the ADAS Milk Laboratory results have shown a steady decline in SCC. From 2000 the SCC have unfortunately began to rise with an acceleration seen.
