The report shows that the total number of colonies, aflatoxin M1, [somatic cell count] indicates the health status of the fresh milk.  Since 2009 The Ministry of Agriculture has promoted the program of fresh milk quality and safety monitoring to detect indicators including [somatic cell count]. Overall speaking China dairy industry has put more and more attention on the detection of milk somatic cell count. Reported studies show that the level of somatic cells of the domestic ranch is almost as same as EU level.

The quality and safety of dairy products is of supreme importance, which boosted many more dairy enterprises from pasture. Thus the quality of dairy products requires higher standards. It is more than necessary to raise the awareness of SCC concern in terms of the quality of raw milk.

With the development of science and technology, SCC is seen as one of the milk collection standards in many countries. The higher the SCC, the greater the risk of contamination of pathogens and antibiotics in fresh milk, the more damage it brings to human health. So to strengthen the SCC monitoring and reduce SCC in milk is the way to improve fresh milk quality, and to ensure the quality and safety of dairy products.
