It has been proved that there is a direct correlation between the somatic cells within the buffalo cow milk and the health state of the mammary gland.
The presence of somatic cells in the milk has a hygienic significance in tracking down subclinical mastitis which often develops.
The number of somatic cells in the buffalo cow milk is considered a more sensible test than determining the percentage of chloride, the value of lactose, the value of serum albumin, the measurement of electric conductibility and of enzymatic activity
