Description
The amount of somatic cells decreases the quality of milk and have an economic impact because in Kosovo the price of milk depends on the amount of somatic cells. The study was conducted on dairy farms in Prishtina region in period of the 6 months of 2019, including 1525 samples of fresh milk from average 254 farms per month. Detection of somatic cells was performed by Fossomatic ™ Minor, which works according to the Flouro Optico Electronic Method. From the analyzes obtained, the amount of somatic cells in milk samples categorized in the extra and first category was 54% while in the second and third category it was 46%. Reduction of extra category samples from 53.60% to 38.38% during June and reduction of third category from 50.15% to 36.8% in January indicates the influence temperature on the development of microorganisms in mammary gland and increasing the amount of somatic cells.
