Summary: Currently there is an increasing demand for quality in food products. The use of low-quality milk has relevant technological implications, such as low yield of dairy products due to changes in their original characteristics. The composition and physicochemical characteristics of goat milk can be very harmfully influenced by several factors, such as mastitis. Somatic cell count (SCC) is a valuable tool in indicating milk quality, in estimating quantitative and qualitative production loss, as well as in establishing measures to prevent and control mastitis. The present study analyzes the implications of SCC in the chemical composition of goat milk samples.
