534. The cells in bovine milk

Abstract

Using a differential staining technique, total and differential cell counts were carried out on over 5000 milk samples.It was found that the cells in both normal and abnormal milk fell into three groups:(1) Granular leucocytes, including polymorphs, eosinophils and probably basophils.(2) Lymphocytes.(3) Epithelial cells (vacuolated and non-vacuolated).The findings of some earlier workers are discussed.
