“…Several investigations have shown that variation in SCC is also influenced, by generic factors (Young et al, 1960;Duysings et al, 1979;Kennedy et al, 1982a). Estimates of heritability of SCC as reviewed by Miller (1984) range from 0 to 0.38 with an average of 0.20.…”

Mastitis is a major source of culling and economic loss in the dairy herd. To date in England and Wales the main monitor of mastitis both within a herd and nationally is provided by monthly herd milk cell counts. The main thrust of mastitis control programmes has been to improve management practices such as dry cow treatment and milk machine testing. Interest has also been shown in the use of milk cell count as an indirect means of selecting for resistance to mastitis infection. Wood and Booth (1983) indicated that the cell count at the third monthly recording had the highest correlation with lactation mean cell count. The objective of this study was to estimate the herilability of somatic cell count, taken at the third recording after calving in the heifer lactation and to examine the association between cell count and production traits.
