[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 931891, member: 6897"] SCC is NOT a an indicication of bacteria within your milking system and milk tank. You can have a relatviely low SCC and still have a high bacteria count. What is your feeding program for the cattle? These cows have at least subclinical acidosis and need more long stem fiber in the diet. Ideal grain:roughage content would be 40:60........50:50 will work but if you're grain intake is more than your roughage intake acidosis occurs. Butterfat probably is depressed somewhat and milk protein elevated....if milk protein exceeds milk butterfat content you definitely have severe acidosis which will also affect the milk Ph. Adding a buffer to the ration will help considerably if you don't presently have one. (Sodium Bicarbonate). [/QUOTE]
