Optimally achieving milk bulk tank somatic cell count thresholds.
High somatic cell count in milk leads to reduced shelf life in fluid milk and lower processed yields in manufactured dairy products. As a result, farmers are often penalized for high bulk tank somatic cell count or paid a premium for low bulk tank somatic cell count. Many countries also require all milk from a farm to be lower than a specified regulated somatic cell count. Thus, farms often cul...
متن کاملBulk tank milk somatic cell count and sources of raw milk contamination with mastitis pathogens
The objective of this study was to probe the relationship between prevalence of selected principal mastitis pathogens and somatic cell counts in bulk tank milk samples. The sources of milk contamination were evaluated. The samples were collected from 298 dairy herds (with approximately 32 000 dairy cows). Only 48.3% of the bulk tank milk samples were free of contamination of pathogens of intere...

in this study, somatic cell counts (scc) of milk were determined in six industrial and traditional dairyfarms in tehran province during different seasons. the prevalence of udder disorders and mastitis wasestimated on the base of scc as an indicator as well. in this research, industrial and traditional dairyfarms during 9 months were studied by total 32620 scc records. milk samples were collect...
متن کاملFarm management factors associated with bulk tank somatic cell count in Irish dairy herds
The relationship between bulk tank somatic cell count (SCC) and farm management and infrastructure was examined using data from 398 randomly selected, yet representative, Irish dairy farms where the basal diet is grazed grass. Median bulk tank SCC for the farms was 282,887 cells/ml ranging from 82,209 to 773,028 cells/ml. Two questionnaires were administered through face-to-face contact with ea...
