According to our hygienic milk quality regolatory objectives bulk farm milk somatic cell count must not on average exceed 500.000 cells/ml in three months' period. It is necessary to introduce permanent udder health status control program to reach target values under 200.000 cells/ml. Program also provides taking individual samples once a month for individual cow somatic cell count which enables us to make number of udder health management decisions: eliminationof factors which can influence elevated somatic cell count and are not conected with mastitis, good screening for the identification of infected cows in herd, taking measurements against decreased risk factors for infection spread, ordering optimal treatment time especially for S. aureus infections where the draying off cow treatment is more efficient, evaluation of the response to the treatment and other measurements.
