Abstract
The ultimate mission of dairy producers is to produce high quality milk, regardless of their milk volume goals. Somatic cell count (SCC) and protein content affect dairy product flavor, shelf life and cheese yield. And producers must keep contaminants such as aflatoxins out of milk to meet regulatory standards, market expectations and consumer trust.
