Buenos Aires: International Buffalo Federationc2010  ap. 552-553.  aThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of somatic cell count (SCC) on buffalo milk. Samples were collected monthly from 156 Murrah buffaloes during lactation, in 4 production systems (tropical pasture with supplementation), in Brazil. The SCC was determined by flow cytometry, using the Somacount 300. The fat, crude protein and lactose were determined by infrared light reading absorption, using the Bentley 2000 (Bentley Instruments). The SCC range in milk was (x 1.000 cells): Group 1 – until 250; Group 2 - more 250 to 450; Group 3 – more 450 to 750; Group 4 – more 750 to 1.000; Group 5 - more 1.000. The larger frequency of samples was observed in the Group 1 (89.7%). In the Group 2 was observed 4.6% of samples. In turn, in the Group 3 was 1.8%, in the Group 4 was 0.7%, and in the Group 5 was observed 3.2% of milk samples. Milk components such as fat, protein and lactose were not affected in spite of a decrease in their concentration. Perhaps, this result is due to the small number of samples in 3, 4 and 5 Groups. However, significant effect of SCC on the solids was observed. Most total solids concentration was observed in the Group 1 (17.1±1.71%) did not differ from Group 2 (16.5±1.45%) and Group 3 (16.8±2.09%), however was observed statistical effect from intervals 4 (15.8±2.43%) and 5 (14.5±2.39%). In the 2, 3 and 4 Groups was not find statistical difference, however, they differ in the range 5. The SCC did not affect the composition of buffalo’s milk.  acrude protein  aLactose  aLeite1 aMATTOS, W. R. S.1 aMATARAZZO, S. V.1 aGAMA, M. A. S. da1 aMALHADO, C. H. M.1 aFERRÃO, S. P.
