Abstract

The aim of this research was to determine the influence of somatic cells on all milk components. Somatic cell count (SCC) is an indicator of the quality of milk. White blood cells known as leukocytes constitute the majority of somatic cells in question. The number of somatic cells increases in response to pathogenic bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, a cause of mastitis. The SCC is quantified as cells per ml. If the number of somatic cell is bigger than 400.000/ml, that milk is with bad quality, and has a lot of changes in its components. If the number of somatic cells in milk is less than 400.000/ml, than we have normal milk, with appropriate amounts of milk components and normal characteristics. key words: somatic cells, milk components, mastitis;
