<b>Evolution and factors influencing somatic cell count in raw milk from farms in Viçosa, state of Minas Gerais

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The somatic cell count (SCC) of refrigerated raw milk reflects the occurrence of mastitis in the herd and the management of rural property. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the SCC of the refrigerated raw milk and its determinant factors in dairy properties of Viçosa, State of Minas Gerais. Monthly, milk samples were taken from 44 cooling tanks during 2012. A structured questionnaire was applied to evaluate the production and management characteristics of the herds. There was a significant var… Show more

“…Increases in SCC and SPC may be related to a number of factors, including inadequate management by the farm regarding lack of hygiene in milking and cleaning of the environment; lack of a milking line, since animals with mastitis are milked and this milk has high SCC and pathogens; and high prevalence of mastitis in the herd (CESPEDES et al 2014;QUINTÃO et al, 2017).…”

“…It was demonstrated by SCC lower than 500 × 1,000 cells/ml of milk (Table 1) that the raw milk produced by the suppliers of these industries in the northeastern Brazilian region meets the legislation requirements set by IN-62 for SCC. However, levels close to 200 × 1,000 cells/ml for SCC are recommended for quality (Quintão et al 2017). High values reflect animal inflammation and the inadequate management of milking and environmental hygiene properties (Nasr and El-Tarabany 2017).…”

“…Van Schaik et al [32] identificaram que quanto maior a incidência da mastite no rebanho, maior será o aumento de resíduos de antibióticos no leite e isso se deve ao fato de não ser respeitado o período de carência dos antibióticos que são aplicados durante o tratamento da inflamação nas glândulas. Quintão et al [33] ao avaliarem a qualidade de leite cru refrigerado, apresentou CCS superiores a 500.000 mil células/mL e verificaram que de limite permitido pela legislação. Valores elevados de CCS no leite influenciam na produção, na qualidade e no rendimento dos produtos lácteos [34] .…”
