ABSTRACT: Mastitis is an inflammatory reaction of the mammary tissue in response to the introduction and multiplication of pathogens and is characterized by increasing somatic cell count (SCC) in milk. The main objective of present study is to assess the probable associations between somatic cell (SC) levels and calcium and phosphorus and ratio of Ca/P in raw milk. Milk samples were collected f...

genetic and non-genetic correlations of the average somatic cell score (scs) at different stages oflactation (100, 150, 200, 305 and 365 days in milk) with lactation performance were estimated based on thefirst lactation records of iranian holstein calving during 2000 to 2009. (co) variance components wereestimated using derivative-free reml based on multiple traits animal models. the estimated...

nitrogen components of yoghurt milk samples and resulting probiotic set yoghurt weredetermined. analyses included total nitrogen (tn), non-casein nitrogen (ncn), non-proteinnitrogen (npn), casein nitrogen (cn) and proteolysis index (pi). yoghurt samples wereanalyzed 1, 7, 14 and 21days after production and storage at 5±1°c. tn, cn and pi contentsof yoghurt milk samples with high somatic cell sc...

This experiment was aimed to study the association between the DGAT1 K232A polymorphism and milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Iranian Holstein dairy cows. The records of 408 animals from five dairy herds were randomly identified and then genomic DNA was extracted from blood using the modified-salting method described by Miller. RFLP-PCR was performed to obtain all the polym...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of somatic cell counts (SCC), differential SCC (macrophage (MAC), lymphocyte (LYM) and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)), number and stage lactation on milk composition in camel and cow milk. Camel milk appeared to contain significantly (P

milk samples were collected from quarters of 35 cows with subclinical mastitis (california mastitis test [cmt] positive and somatic cell counts [scc] >500,000 cells/ml in individual quarter foremilk), as well as from 37 healthy controls. compared to the levels observed in milk from healthy quarters, milk from quarters with subclinical mastitis showed elevated sodium (91.97 vs 52.93 mg/dl), chlo...
