Combining total and differential somatic cell count to better assess the association of udder health status with milk yield, composition and coagulation properties in cattle
The combined use of somatic cell count (SCC) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC), which is the ratio of neutrophils plus lymphocytes to total milk SCC, represents a novel approach to define cow’s udder health status, as it allows to identify healthy animals (those with low SCC and DSCC), cows...
