Abstract

Increased milk somatic cell count (SCC) can alter milk composition, affect milk flavor and shorten the shelf life of milk products, and can also increase the risks of antibiotic and veterinary drug residues in milk. SCC not only can reflect the quality and safety of milk and the health of dairy animals, but also is an important indicator of the incidence of subclinical mastitis. To guarantee milk quality and safety, a maximum level has been set for SCC in milk in many countries. The impact of SCC on the quality and safety of milk, regulatory limits for SCC in raw milk in different countries, the factors that influence SCC, and SCC detection methods are reviewed in this paper.

Key words： raw milk; somatic cell count; quality and safety; limit; detection method
