Effects of Somatic Cell Count, Parity and Lactation Stage on Yield and Components of Milk in Holstein-Friesian Cows

Abstract

In this study, 1200 records from 126 Holstein-Friesian cows (first and second lactation) were used to investigate the effects of somatic cell count (SCC), parity and lactation stage on the milk yield and the protein, fat, lactose and urea nitrogen contents of the milk. In the second lactation, it was found that the milk yield and the protein content of milk was approximately 6% and 1% higher, respectively, while the fat and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) contents were 4% lower and the fat to protein ratio, 6% lower. In the first period of lactation, the milk yield was seen to be about 11% and 54% higher than that of the second and third period, respectively. In the last period of lactation, it was observed that the protein and fat content of milk was 8% and 10% higher than that of the first period and 5% and 8% higher than that of the second period, respectively. Finally, it was determined that milk yield, lactose and the MUN contents were about 12%, 10% and 17% higher, respectively, when the SCC was ≤ 200,000, compared to when the SCC was ≥ 1,001,000, and that the protein content of milk was 4% lower.
