Abstract

This study tried to confirm whether there is an effect of milk somatic cell count (SCC) levels on total protein, albumin, and globulin levels in plasma of dairy cows. A total of 18 Friesian Holstein cows in transition were included in this study, divided into three groups based on their milk SCC levels, namely low (<160,000 cells/mL), moderate (160,000-400,000 cells/mL), and high (> 400,000 cells/mL). The variables measured were levels of total protein and other protein derivatives, namely albumin and globulin in the blood plasma of dairy cows. The results showed that cows with low milk SCC had a significantly higher total protein content (p<0.05) compared to cows with high milk SCC (109.67 g/L vs 85.15 g/L). This difference was also followed by plasma globulin and plasma albumin, although the difference was not significant (p>0.05). In conclusion, there is a relationship between the amount of SCC in milk and plasma protein levels in transition dairy cows.
