Somatic cell count of milk is a well established test of monitoring udder subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle. Its diurnal variation has been known for decades, (SMITH and SHULTZE 1967). However the association of somatic cell count to time of sampling has been poorly investigated (AOKI et al 1990), and little emphasis has been given to the representativity of samples for a period of 24h. By concentrating on the study of differences between morning and evening milkings throughout lactation, the objective of the current study was to stress the need for a standard representative sampling time, to avoid possible bias in the interpretation of somatic cell count data, whether for research purposes or routine health surveys.
