Milk quality and subclinical mastitis detection through somatic cells counting
Abstract
The somatic cells counting (SCC) is a tool to detect sub clinical and assistant infection in the evaluation of milk quality. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the degree of the sub clinical mastitis of the dairy herd at Universidade Estadual de Maringa by controlling the milk of 306 data, carried out by the Associação Paranaense dos Criadores de Bovinos da Raça Holandesa. The data was collected from 35 cows in 5 calving orders (CO), from 1993 to 1996. The result of SCC for the first CO was the smallest (P < 0.05), while the results for the 5th CO were the largest. The high value of SCC suggests that the quality of the milk produced could be affected and that some cows of the herd can be with sub clinical mastitis, and thus, Some tests should be accomplished to confirm the infection: the mastitis tests, Wisconsin Mastitis Test (WMT) or the California Mastitis Test (CMT).Downloads
