Estimating the nonlinear interaction between somatic cell score and differential somatic cell count on milk production by parity using generalized additive models
ABSTRACT: This observational study aimed to use somatic cell score (SCS) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC), the combined proportion of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes in somatic cells, to investigate how mastitis affected milk production. Using generalized additive models, we a...
