“…Higher milk SCC also caused a reduction in β-, α-, and κ-casein fractions. Unlike previous findings, high bulk tank milk SCC exhibited non-significant effects on the percentage of total proteins and lactose [ 71 ].…”

Milk somatic cells (SCs) are a mixture of milk-producing cells and immune cells. These cells are secreted in milk during the normal course of milking and are used as an index for estimating mammary health and milk quality of dairy animals worldwide. Milk SC is influenced by cow productivity, health, parity, lactation stage, and breed of an animal. Any change in environmental conditions, poor management practices, and also stressful conditions significantly increases the amount of SC coming in milk. Better hygiene and proper nutrition help in reducing milk SC. Milk with low SC means better milk products with a longer shelf life. The present review describes the role of SCs (both secretory and immune) in milk, their role in maintaining the integrity of the mammary gland, and factors affecting their release in milk. This information may help to reduce milk somatic cell counts (SCCs) and to establish differential SCC standards.

“…In a study developed by Savic et al (28) , the values found for the somatic cell quantities of the tank milk in the interval between the minimum value of 58,000 cells mL -1 and the maximum of 516.000 did not significantly affect the protein and lactose content. Different effects from the present research were revealed in other work (29) in which they observed the influence of the SCC on the lactose and defatted dry extract percentages when analyzing milks with four levels of SCC (less than 400.000 cells L -1 to greater than 1'000,000 cells L -1 ).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the milking method, the storage conditions and the SCC (Somatic Cell Count) increase on the quality of raw milk. Monthly evaluations were performed out over a year in 21 tanks by monitoring the refrigeration temperature and the storage time of the milk in the tank. The tanks were grouped into three temperature levels. Milk storage time intervals were established in each tank: up to 24 h of storage; between 24 and 48 h; and above 48 h. The effect of SCC on the composition was evaluated in three categories: Low SCC; Medium SCC; High SCC. In the analyzed period, 10.8 % presented low SCC, followed by 46.5 % with medium SCC, while 42.7 % had high SCC. There was a positive correlation between SCC and protein, and a negative correlation between SCC and lactose. It is concluded that the milking method does not influence the microbial contamination of the milk; however, longer storage time and increased temperature influenced an increase in microorganism counts in milk. In evaluating the hygienic/sanitary quality of the milk, 42.7 % had high SCC and the total bacterial counts presented values above the values recommended by legislation.

“…Farm practices such as post milking feeding, teat dipping, flooring and milking procedures reveal lower SCC whereas unhygienic condition of farm and utensils increases the cells count (Savić et al, 2017). Proper interventions for good managerial practices in shed can have positive effects to lower the SCC count (Bytyqi et al, 2010).…”
