ABSTRACT
An epidemiological analysis was conducted on production records in Hokkaido, Japan, to investigate the potential association between improved milk quality and longevity outcomes. The study found significant variations in herd somatic cell count levels and chronic subclinical mastitis morbidity based on geographical area and herd size. The analysis also revealed a positive correlation between herd somatic cell count and chronic subclinical mastitis morbidity. Although the hypothesis of a causal link between milk quality and longevity was examined, no such association was found. However, intensive assistance for identified high-risk areas and farms is expected to enhance overall milk quality.
