Total and differential cell counts were obtained for 1710 samples of milk taken from cows in which the stage of lactation was known. A bacteriological examination of the samples was also made. The total and differential cell counts considered together showed no marked advantage over the total cell count alone in the diagnosis of mastitis, except in milk of late lactation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
