Abstract

Somatic cell counts are only one of several diagnostic aids which may be used to detect nonclinical mastitis. Whenever possible, they should be used with other diagnostic tests such as milk cultures or ELISA type tests to increase the confidence of the decisions. All dairymen should routinely employ some method of somatic cell counting within their herd.
