Management of high cows-share-contribution of SCC to the bulk milk tank by acoustic pulse technology (APT).

A cow with mastitis has a high somatic cell count (SCC) in its milk. Cow-share-contribution of somatic cells to the bulk milk tank (BMTSCC) refers to the relative addition made by each cow's milk to the bulk tank's SCC. Since bulk milk is graded and priced according to the BMTSCC, high-yie...
