Monitoring udder health and milk quality using somatic cell counts.
In this article the use of somatic cell counts for monitoring udder health and milk quality is discussed. Somatic cell count dynamics at quarter, cow, herd and population level are discussed and illustrated with examples. Quarter and cow somatic cell counts directly represent the inflammatory status of the mammary gland. Herd and population somatic cell count are related to the inflammatory pro...
متن کاملThe relationship between somatic cell count, milk production and six linearly scored type traits in Holstein cows
Test-day records of somatic cell count (SCC), milk yield, fat and protein content and six linearly scored type traits (fore udder attachment, udder depth, central ligament, rear udder height, front teat placement, teat length) of 22 613 first lactation cows from 117 herds were included in this study. SCC was log-transformed into somatic cell score (SCS). Milk yield was standardized as follows: ...
متن کاملGenetic Relationship of Productive Life, Production and Type Traits of Korean Holsteins at Early Lactations.
The present study was performed to study the genetic relationship of productive life with production and type traits of Korean Holsteins at first three lactations. The data for the analysis from 56,054, 28,997, and 11,816 animals of first, second and third parity cows which were born from 2006 to 2011 were collected by Dairy Cattle Improvement Center, National Agricultural Co-operative Federati...
متن کاملRelationship of Somatic Cell Score and Linear Type Trait Evaluations of Holstein Sires
Genetic evaluations of Holstein bulls for mean somatic cell score were compared with their standardized transmitting abilities for linear type traits. Based on first lactation daughter information from five dairy records processing centers, PTA for somatic cell scores for 712 sires ranged from -.50 to .56. Standardized transmitting abilities for 14 type traits were provided for these bulls by t...
متن کاملestimation of genetic parameters, proposal of an udder health index and on comparision of different selection strategies to include this trait in iranian holstein cows' breeding programs
genetic and phenotypic parameters related to production traits, udder conformation and somatic cell count for the iranian holstein cows were estimated. monthly records of somatic cell counts (scc) were primarily transformed into somatic cell scores (scs) and the the average level of lactation period, with correction for milk volume, was calculated. by use of these estimates an udder health inde...
