Abstract:
The aim of the research is to understand the quality of milk and the state of animal health in Armenia, using the Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) as an indicator. As a result, we have received a clear map of milk quality in five regions of the Republic of Armenia, the data of which are extremely alarming. According to the SCC, 12 % of 135 animals have clinical mastitis, 23 % have developed mastitis and the remaining 65 % do not have mastitis. To improve the quality of milk and the state of animal health, we suggested that processing companies apply a financial scheme of incentives and penalties to suppliers.
