Hygienic and compositional quality of Raw Milk Produced by Smallholder dairy farmers in Lusaka Province of Zambia
… of raw milk was determined by assessing its Somatic Cell Count (SCC), Total Bacteria Count (TBC), Total Coliforms Count (TCC), Antibiotic Residues (ARs), added water and milk components. Altogether, 83 samples of raw milk were collected and analyzed at the University of Zambia, School of …

Selection for milk somatic cell count in laboratory mice
… selection experiment for high and low somatic cell count (SCC) was conducted over 14 generations with two selected lines (high line = HSCC, low line = LSCC) of mice. Seven secondary traits (milk yield, total white blood cell count, percentage of phagocytic cells in blood, endotoxin …

Quantitative frequency-domain fluorescence spectroscopy in tissues and tissue-like media
… to label DNA, and hence visualize chromosomes in cells. The lifetime of ethidium bromide increases by an order of magnitude upon binding to DNA. In this thesis, I demonstrated that the fluorescence photon migration model is capable of accurately determining the somatic cell count (SCC) in a milk …

Development of a Gram-type Specific Method for Detection of Bovine Mastitis Pathogens by Combining Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) and Split Trehalase Technologies
… of an infection can be deduced by measuring the somatic cell count (SCC) or released enzymes, or directly detected by the presence of mastitis pathogens. While many laboratory diagnostic methods (e.g., SCC determination, bacteria culturing, qPCR) exist, few have been modified and adopted for …

MAPPING GENOMIC VARIANTS ASSOCIATED WITH FUNCTIONAL AND HEALTH TRAITS IN DAIRY CATTLE POPULATION
… of the more expensive diseases in dairy farming. Somatic cell count (SCC) and antibiotic treatments were used as a unique phenotype to map QTL linked to mastitis resistance, highlighting genomic regions associated with immune response and udder integrity. By combining SCC data with antibiotic …

Evaluation of best practices associated with enhanced performance in Illinois dairy farms: a dairy focus team approach
… ± 0.36 % for N and S, respectively. Average tank SCC was 196 ± 21 and 207 ± 109 for N and S, respectively. A higher OM content was found in DRY cows’ bedding (5.36 ± 0.62) than LACT (2.85 ± 0.31). A linear association between OM and bulk tank SCC was found (SCC = 133.75 + 15.00 × OM). Hence, …

Effects of goat phenotype score on milk characteristics and blood parameters of indigenous and improved dairy goats in South Africa
… milk fat, milk urea-nitrogen (MUN) and milk somatic cell count (SCC). In addition body condition score (BCS), age and data related to the goat genotype (breed, udder characteristics) were recorded. Results confirmed that milk yield from dairy goats was higher (p<0.001) than the milk yield of …

Combining Conventional Tests and Terminal Restriction Fragment Analysis to Evaluate Microbial Quality of Raw Milk
… of the most common conventional tests include somatic cell count (SCC), standard plate count (SPC), coliform count (CC), lab pasteurized count (LPC) and proteolytic strain count (PSC). However, these methods do not correlate with each other or with the quality of milk and milk products. One …

USE OF ON-FARM DATA AND MILK LEUCOCYTE COMPONENTS FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH OF DAIRY COWS
… (Advanced Animal Diagnostic) and DeLaval Cell Counter (DeLaval), to detect Total Leucocyte Count (TLC), Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and the concentration of neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocyte. The results of the Generalized Mixed Model highlighted that the three fractions of leucocytes …
