Abstract
Device and process to approximate somatic cell count (SCC) of untreated mammalian milk by the two variable equation SCC=f (FSL, FAT) with a forward scattered light factor (FSL) being obtained by detecting light scattered by the milk into an angular range within, and less than, the angular range 0.0 to 0.5 degrees away from the central axis of incident light, with a proxy (FAT) for the fat content of the milk, which may be obtained by detecting light attenuation of the milk sample, and with the function (f) being obtained by calibration of the device using reference milk samples.
