Effect of Bacillus subtilis (BS) feeding on somatic cell count (SCC) in milk of dairy cows. Cows with a history of mastitis were divided into the control group (n = 6, blue circle) and the experimental group (n = 6, red circle) (a). Heifers were separated into the control group (n = 11, blue circle) and the experimental group (n = 12, red circle) (b). The control group was fed a normal diet, and the experimental group was fed the BS diet from 1 month before parturition. Milk samples were collected for 100 days after parturition, and their SCC was determined. These data were divided into four periods of 25 days each over the 100 days. The values below the lower limit (1000 cells/ml) are not shown in the figures. Blue or red bars represent the mean of SCC with standard errors. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
