Abstract

Milk is one of the most complete and essential natural foods for humans, as dairy products can be consumed by individuals of all ages. Healthy milk production and quality are vital for both consumer health and the economy. One of the important indicators used to evaluate the quality and safety of milk is the Somatic Cell Count (SCC). These cells consist of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages. The number of somatic cells in milk reflects the presence of these cells, which should be subtracted from any invading bacteria. The SCC is used to determine udder infections. In many countries, the somatic cell count in milk serves as a health indicator and is used for pricing raw milk.
