EFFECT OF SEVERITY OF SUB-CLINICAL MASTITIS ON SOMATIC CELL COUNT AND LACTOSE CONTENTS OF BUFFALO MILK
This study was conducted to determine the effect of severity of sub-clinical mastitis on somatic cell count (SCC) and lactose contents of milk in 100 apparently healthy dairy buffaloes. Surf Field Mastitis Test (SFMT) was used to determine the severity of sub-clinical mastitis which was graded as Ne...
