CYTOLOGICAL QUALITY OF BOVINE MILK PRODUCED IN SMALL HERD

Abstract

In present paper the results of somatic cells count (SCC) in bovine milk observations were described. The studied herd had a population of 30 cows grazed pasture in the summertime. Farm paid special attention to a good level of animal welfare. Quality of milk obtained in summer season from cows grazed pasture was higher compared to other seasons, however SCC in milk observed generally in the study was lower comparing to the results reported by other authors, what can indicate good udder health and high welfare level. Cows in first lactation produced milk with lower SCC compared to multiparous cows and SCC significantly increased as the lactation progressed which is similar to observations presented by other authors.
