The objective of this observational study was to evaluate the relationship between cow- and herd-level factors and cow udder health status, measured by composite milk sample somatic cell count (CSCC) in dairy herds from Córdoba, Argentina. The study population was dairy farms of a size of 100 to 250 cows; 48 randomly selected dairy herds were visited during 2007. Each visit involved a milking routine inspection, an interview to the dairyman and the collection of 45 milk composite samples from cows selected by a random systematic procedure. Parity and days in milk were recorded for each cow sampled. The somatic cell count was determined with a Somacount 300, and then a natural logarithmic transformation of SCC values was used.
