Abstract excerpt
The relationship between somatic cell scores (SCS) and longevity was assessed for Italian Holstein–Friesian dairy cows using survival analysis. The data of somatic cell count (SCC) test day information of 512 979 cows were provided by nine provinces from Northern Italy. Pedigree information was extracted from the national herd book.
