Table 6.
DSCC and P + LT mean and standard error in diseased subset ranked by SCC levels and parities.

1 SCC = Somatic Cell Count. 2 DSCC = Differential leukocyte count. 3 P + LT is equal to SCC × milk yield × DSCC (as proportion). Rows with different superscripts (a,b,c,d) are statistically different (p < 0.05)
