The incidence of subclinical and clinical mastitis in the mammary gland produces variety of defensive factors were nuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages play an important role and they are marked as somatic cells. Somatic cell count depends on the type of pathogen and stage of infection. Increased number of somatic cells in milk occurs as...

The effect of somatic cell count (SCC) on the yield and composition of mozzarella cheese was evaluated. Cows with different levels of SCC in their milk (≤200.000 cells/mL; >200.000 to ≤400.000 cells/mL; >400.000 cells/mL to ≤750.000 cells/mL and >750.000 cells/mL) were selected. The animals had no antimicrobial treatment prior to or on milk samplin...

Somatic cells in milk include epithelial cells from the gland and leukocytes from the blood. Epithelial cells are elevated in very early and late lactation. Leukocytes increase during mastitis infection or injury. They have phagocytic properties and combat invading organisms. Mean somatic cell counts of each milking over a 1-month period for cows w...

The world dairy cattle industry has advanced, but in Brazil, the quality of milk is a barrier to the strengthening of the chain. Thus, the objective of this research was to institute an action plan in ten dairy farms in the southern region of Brazil, which produced low quality milk, and to monitor changes in quality and economic gain, during one ye...

The aim of the current study was to verify the existence of a significant correlation between bacterial isolation (or not) and mammary gland inflammation, using traditional bacterial culturing and PCR, milk leucocytes distributions, and tissue histology. Twenty-two cows were tested at the level of the individual gland for bacteriological culture an...
