Summary

The effect that changes in composition which occur in milks possessing high cell counts have on milk lipolysis has been investigated. High cell counts were produced either by intramammary infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin or Streptococcus agalactiae or by addition of washed cells which were isolated from milk obtained from quarters infused with endotoxin. Free fatty acid levels in milk were measured in terms of acid degree value (ADV) either as initial ADV measured immediately after milking or ADV developed after a prescribed incubation period.

There was an increase in initial ADV after the infusion either of endotoxin or of Str. agalactiae relative to a control quarter. This increase appeared to be associated with changes in cell count, but in absolute terms the influence of cells on ADV became less as cell count increased. Neither type of infusion had any effect on lipoprotein lipase activity. The addition of washed cells to normal milk resulted in an increase in developed ADV, but the increment was not as large as that produced by the addition of 1% blood serum. When cream and skim-milk from endotoxin-treated quarters and control quarters were mixed in different combinations with and without additional cells, developed ADV was higher in those samples containing endotoxin cream and those with added cells. Milk from a quarter treated with endotoxin was diluted with its own skim-milk to produce different cell counts and ADV was determined after various time intervals at 4 and 37 °C. Lipolysis increased with increasing cell count, but a depression in lipolytic rate was noted after incubation for 6 h at 4 °C and 20 min at 37 °C.

The proportion of skim-milk lipoprotein lipase activity in milk serum was larger both in milks possessing high cell counts and in normal milk adjusted to between 5 and 20 mM-NaCl by addition of solid NaCl. These levels of NaCl inhibited lipolysis.

The possible direct and indirect effects of high cell count on milk lipolysis are discussed.
