Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between somatic cell counts (SCC) and the fat, protein, lactose and total solids from raw milk from 160 dairy cows. They were tabulated data from SCC and chemical composition for the period of six months. The SCC determined by flow cytometry and the percentage composition by differential absorption of infrared waves. To evaluate the influence of SCC on the fat, protein, lactose and total solids, it was calculated the correlation coefficient. The concentration of protein, lactose, and total solids inversely correlated with the SCC.
