Abstract
Somatic cell concentration (SCC) is an important indicator in detecting the mastitis infection in cows: SCC is a measure of milk quality. Direct Optical Microscopy is the reference method of SCC evaluation, but it is extremely time consuming, This paper shows the advantageous results of applying a low-cost video microscopy system that evaluates somatic cell concentration in fresh cow milk
