Description
Summary:The article presents the results of studies of milk quality indicators: the mass fraction of fat, the mass fraction of protein and the number of somatic cells in the Jersey breed in the Stavropol Territory in 2022-2023. In the autumn period, the indicators of the mass fraction of fat and protein were higher compared to other seasons and equal to 6.08% and 4.66%, respectively. The number of somatic cells was also increased in the autumn and spring periods of 140 and 146 thousand units/ml, respectively. A significant negative correlation of the mass fraction of protein and average daily productivity to the number of somatic cells r = -0.21 and -0.12 was established. And a significant positive correlation between the mass fraction of fat and the level of somatic cells r = 0.52.
