摘要

Mastitis is still the costliest disease in milk production. In particular, its subclinical form, which may spread unnoticeably within a herd, is a major challenge. Somatic cell count (SCC) is broadly used as an indicator for mastitis and thus the basis for udder health management programmes, e.g. through dairy herd improvement (DHI) testing. Since recently, differential somatic cell count (DSCC, representing the combined proportion of polymorphonuclear neutrophils and lymphocytes as a percentage of total SCC) is available in addition. Our study was aimed to investigate dairy cow performance in four newly defined udder health groups (UHG) based on SCC and DSCC results from DHI testing. In total, 961,835 test-day results generated in Austria, China, Estonia, Germany, and Spain between January 2019 and March 2020 were available for data analyses. Cows were categorised into four UHG depending on test day SCC and DSCC results (UHG A: healthy/normal, <= 200,000 cells/mL and <65 %; B: suspicious, <= 200,000 cells/mL and >65 %; C: mastitis, >200,000 cells/mL and >65 %; D: chronic/persistent mastitis, >200,000 cells/mL and <= 65 %). Linear mixed effect models were used to compare the performance of cows between the UHG based on the parameters milk weight, energy-corrected milk, fat, protein, lactose, and estimated milk value. Highest performance was found for cows in UHG A and ranged between 21.4 (Austria) and 38.3 kg per cow and day (Spain). Interestingly, cows in group B were significantly less productive (0.9-2.4% less daily milk production) compared to those in group A. Cows in groups C (6.0-9.8% less daily production compared to group A) and D were, as expected, even less productive with a particularly significant drop for cows in group D (17.5-38.5% less daily production). These trends could be observed in all countries involved in this study. Proportions of cows in the four different UHG differed between countries, changed slightly within countries depending on season, differed depending on parity and days in milk, and were seen to vary hugely between herds. In conclusion, this study demonstrates changes in performance of dairy cows depending on their udder health status as defined based on the combination of SCC and DSCC. In particular cows in UHG B and D are of interest as they cannot be identified working with SCC only. Nevertheless, the actual udder health management measures that could be taken based on the new UHG still require further investigation.
