GL 101 Farmer's Guide to High Somatic Cell Counts in Cattle

This guideline was developed to educate farmers, veterinarians and milk quality specialists on somatic cell counts (SCC) in the milking of cattle. It is particularly useful to farmers with a high SCC problem who rapidly need to deal with that problem. The guideline presents both mastisis prevention and SCC management. Included is a two page summary of good milking practices that can be copied and posted in the milking area.
