Somatic cell count thresholds in composite and quarter milk samples as indicator of bovine intramammary infection status

Somatic cell count thresholds in composite and quarter milk samples as indicator of bovine intramammary infection status

The objective of the study was to establish an operational somatic cell count (SCC) threshold to predict the presence of intramammary infection (IMI) in composite milk samples and compare findings with those in quarter milk samples. South African dairy producers now preferred composite milk samples...
