California mastitis test (CMT) and Somatic cell count (SCC) widely used to predict the mammary health status of quarters (cows) and for the suitability of milk for human consumption. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of milk somatic cell counts, and mastitis causing Staphylococcus aureus with regard to the milking practices followed in organized farms.
