Bulletin of the IDF N° 510/2021: Inventory, evaluation and perspectives on methods for determination of somatic cell count mastitis containing only chymosin and pepsinSomatic cell count (SCC) represents the total number of somatic cells in milk and is used as an indicator for udder health and milk quality worldwide. The current reference method for SCC, which is based on microscopy, has been described as challenging to work with. Hence, the objective of this work is to define the criteria for a reference method, map all available methods for determination of SCC and to recommend one or two candidates that could
