My laboratory report had a reading of 800,000 per milliliter for Somatic Cell Count. What does this mean?
Your cows probably have mastitis. Mastitis is a disease of the udder in cows. Since it is a disease, you should have a veterinarian check your herd and milking operation. Somatic Cells are cells in the milk found by counting the Somatic Cells in a milliliter of milk. Somatic cells are leukocytes or white blood cell and other cells. It is usually caused by the disease mastitis.
