The Phenotypical Correlations between Somatic Cell Count and Principals Characters of Cow Milk Production for Falticeni Area

Abstract

Researches were making on cow milk samples from three Falticeni area loclities. Studied characters were mill production, fat percent, protein percent, and somatic cell count. There were analyzed the milk samples with SOMACOUNT to “Dorna Lactate” and dates have been discussed with MATLAB program. The phenotypical correlation values have been varied between +0,356 ÷ +0,542 for fat percent and protein percent; +0,080 ÷ +0,218 for fat percent and somatic cell count, -0,005 ÷ +0,117 for protein percent and somatic cell count; +0,012 ÷ +0,226 for milk production and fat percent; -0,643 ÷ +0,010 for milk production and protein percent and -0,467 ÷ -0,114 for milk production and somatic cell count.
