Suitability of milk lactate dehydrogenase and serum albumin for pathogen-specific mastitis detection in automatic milking systems
ABSTRACT: In response to intramammary infection (IMI), blood-derived leukocytes are transferred into milk, which can be measured as an increase of somatic cell count (SCC).Additionally, pathogen-dependent IgG increases in milk following infection.The IgG transfer into milk is associated with the opening of the blood-milk barrier, which is much more
