Journal Article
Archer, S. C., Madouasse, A., Green, M. J., & Huxley, J. (2011). Association between somatic cell count and serial locomotion score assessments in UK dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 94(9), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2011-4276

This research investigated the effect of lameness, measured by locomotion score (LS) on the somatic cell count (SCC) of UK dairy cows. The data set consisted of 11,141 records of SCC and LS collected monthly on 12 occasions from 1,397 cows kept on 7...
