Effects of parity and stage of lactation on adenosine triphosphate, somatic cell count and antitrypsin content in cows' milk

Abstract

Significant effects of parity and stage of lactation were found on ATP content, somatic cell count and antitrypsin content when using morning milk samples from 39 cows over a period of 18 months. A close similarity was evident between variation in ATP and somatic cell count, except during the first 10 d after parturition when the variation in ATP was more pronounced. The same result was obtained in the whole material as well as in a healthy subset. This study shows clearly that parity and stage of lactation must be taken into account when establishing normal values for ATP as an indicator of mastitis.
