Abstract - Somatic cell counts in goat's milk
Contrary to current practice for cow's milk, somatic cell counts for estimating goat's milk quality is still a subject of controversy. The influence on milk quality of the different somatic cell populations and the variations in cell counts has been re-viewed. The accuracy of enumeration methods has been discussed. In conclusion, it appears difficult to define precise regulations for somatic cell counts in goat's milk before a general agreement has been reached on specific criteria regarding milk quality.

Résumé - Contrairement à ce qui est couramment pratiqué dans l'espèce bovine, l'utilisation des numérations cellulaires comme méthode permettant d'apprécier la qualité du lait fait l'objet dans l'espèce caprine de nombreuses controverses; la nature des différentes populations cellulaires, les variations des numérations et leur incidence sur la qualité du lait sont successivement examinées. Les auteurs concluent sur la difficulté de définir des normes en l'absence d'une définition préalable de critère précis de qualité du lait.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
