The quality and technological parameters of milk obtained from dairy cows with subclinical mastitis by Magdalena Zalewska, Paulina Brzozowska, Magdalena Rzewuska, Ewelina Kawecka-Grochocka, Daria M. Urbańska, Tomasz Sakowski, Emilia Bagnicka

However, fixed linear regression indicated that the number of colony-forming units (cfu/mL) only had a significant influence on FPD and clotting time, and as such, the number of bacteria in a sample did not influence milk yield or quality during subclinical chronic mastitis.…”
