Mastitis monitoring and factors influencing mammary gland health
DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Kamila
The thesis explores an issue of mastitis in dairy cows, and factors that influence the health of a mammary gland. In span of 2012-2013, 629 quarter samples of milk were collected, the somatic cells count (SCC) was determined and the results related to the condition of teats base, and also to an order and phase of lactation. The results were compared to the pool samples collected in 2008-2013 (SCC, TBC) and the number and development of clinical mastitis was followed (2012-2013). The condition of teats base was estimated as an important factor contributing to the health of a mammary gland. The lowest SCC was identified in the first phase of lactation, and, contrary to that, the highest SCC was identified in the third phase of lactation (active involution). The order of lactation proved to be an important factor influencing SCC in milk. Dairy cows staying in pasture were shown to have less SCC in milk; it can therefore be concluded that grazing has a positive impact on SCC in milk. In the examined period, very low number of clinical mastitis was determined

ANALYSIS OF SELECTED INDICATORS OF QUALITY OF RAW COW'S MILK IN AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISE
HUBENÁ, Šárka
The aim of my thesis was to analyze the quality parameters of raw bulk milk with a focus on hygienic and microbiological quality. For this purpose we choose two markers: somatic cell count (SCC) and total bacterial count (TBC). Data were obtained from two dairy farms Dolní Bukovsko and Popovice for the period from June 2008 to February 2011. For statistical evaluation was used MS Excel and Statistics 6.0. SCC and the average TBC values were recorded at higher density in Dolní Bukovsko. However, the averages for these two breeds are consistent with the legislation of the European Union and the Czech Republic (both TBC (?100,000/ml) and SCC (?400,000/ml)). Even though the average TBC value exceeded the limit of the breeding herd health PSB ? 200 thousand / ml, indicating the possible presence of subclinical mastitis and bonded with the considerable economic losses in milk production.

Somatic cell count in raw cow milk in relation to the used methods of mastitis prevention
MÍKOVÁ, Andrea
Graduation theses are inquired into question of somatic cell count (SCC) in row cow milk in relation to the used methods of mastitis prevention. In the year 2005 and 2006 was following values of SCC in raw cow milk in tetra breeding dairy cows. Breeds are differentating from each other with technology of breeding (horsy, summer pasture), technology of lairege and milking. SCC in bulk tank milk was determined according to ČSN EN ISO 133366 {--} 3 milk. Lowest average funds PSB (156,3 {$\cdot$} 10{$^3$} {$\cdot$} mlˉ{$^1$}) was determined in breeding with summer pasture (loos pen bedding housing). Breed with stanchion bedded housing without pasture (SCC 277,3 {$\cdot$} 10{$^3$} {$\cdot$} mlˉ{$^1$}) and breed with bedding{--}free slatted-floor housing without pasture (SCC 277,4 {$\cdot$}10{$^3$} {$\cdot$} mlˉ{$^1$}) was in a tight spot with inadequancy hygiene of stable and milking. The highest average values of SCC were determinated in loose bedded cubicle housing without pasture (289,1 {$\cdot$} 10{$^3$} {$\cdot$} mlˉ{$^1$}), where was deficiencies in feeding (feeding mouldy silage) and higher dustiness environment. We proved a statistically highly significant difference (P<0,001) between farm using summer pasture and farms without pasture. Main deficiencies in methods of mastitis prevention is that breeds doesn't use individual disposable tissue cloths for the udder wiping, farms doesn't use preddiping, inadequancy in hygiene of lairege and milking, feeding mouldy silage and inadequancy in ransack confirmed dairy cows. Key words: raw cow milk, somatic cell count, technology
