“…Moreover, this study showed that SAU and Streptococcus spp. in early lactation were associated with a higher risk of high somatic cell count ( SCC ) during the first 180 days of lactation in organic dairy cows (Peña-Mosca et al, 2023a). Non- aureus Staphylococci and Mammaliicocci ( NASM ) are also highly prevalent in milk samples (De Buck et al, 2021; Peña-Mosca et al, 2023b), but unlike SAU and Streptococcus , NASM have been associated with increased milk production (Piepers et al, 2010).…”
