SOMATIC CELLS IN DAIRY PRODUCTION
Somatic Cells are primarily white blood cells that are naturally present in milk and play a key role in the cow's immune response. In dairy production, the somatic cell count (SCC) is an important indicator of milk quality and udder health. a low SCC generally reflects healthy cows and good milking practices, while a high SCC can signal mastitis - an inflammation of the udder - resulting in reduced milk yield and quality. Monitoring and managing SCC is essential for maintaining animal welfare, meeting regulatory standards, and ensuring high-quality dairy products.
