[QUOTE="born2run, post: 206722, member: 2498"] I've seen articles stating that the SCC goes up as the lactation ends. I've certainly seen this to be true on the herd I work with, so I believe it. Just curious if there's anything you can do to keep it in check or is this inevitable? How about early lactation (first 40 days)? I've never seen anything to support the records I see, but the same thing happens to some of them. I can see with the high influx on milk and higher protein TMR that this would have a tendency to occur, but short of treating is there anything that can be done to just keep it in check? Summers coming, and again I've usually seen the herd's overall SCC skyrocket. Why? These cows are housed in freestalls, shavings changed twice a week, good ventilation, adequate stalls for the amount of cows that are in there. Currently the SCC is good, under 200,000. I'd like to see it stay there for the sake of my paycheck. :D [/QUOTE]
