Milk composition is fundamental in dairy production, afecting the health of cows and the quality of milk. This study explores alterations and mastitis effects on milk composition. Beyond somatic cell count, it analyzes fat, protein, lactose, and electrical conductivity across udder quarters. Comparisons among normal, subclinical, and clinical milk reveal significant differences in these parameters, emphasizing mastitis' adverse impact on milk quality. Continuous monitoring and prompt intervention are stressed. This research contributes valuable insights to dairy science, emphasizing the need for proactive measures in maintaining optimal dairy herd health and high-quality milk production.
