  • Title: Somatic cell counts of ewes' milk.
    Author: Fthenakis GC, el-Masannat ET, Booth JM, Jones JE.
    Journal: Br Vet J; 1991; 147(6):575-81. PubMed ID: 1777802.
    Abstract:
    The somatic cell counts of ewes' milk were determined by an electronic particle counter (Coulter Counter). Of 1408 apparently normal milk samples, 98.2% had a somatic cell count lower than 1.0 x 10(6) cells/ml and 85.8% of 254 bacteriologically positive samples had a count higher than 1.0 x 10(6) cells/ml. Values exceeding 1.0 x 10(6) cells/ml are indicative of subclinical mastitis, if samples were collected from clinically healthy mammary glands.
