A telephone survey was conducted of 149 current recipients of the Ohio DHIA SCC option, 30 past recipients of the SCC option, and 30 producers who had never received the SCC option. Producers were questioned to ascertain their knowledge of mastitis, how they used SCC information, their treatment and prevention of mastitis, and their use of veterinary services. Producers' perceptions of mastitis indicated a high awareness of the consequences of mastitis. However, 10% of producers on DHI still did not practice postmilking teat dipping, and 16% did not handle mastitic cows any differently during milking. Current recipients of SCC data used the data more frequently than did past recipients of the SCC data to evaluate mastitis treatment or control, choose cows to cull, identify cows to dry off early, indicate herd infection, and evaluate mastitis control. The major reason given by nonrecipients for never having enrolled in the SCC program was that they did not perceive a need for it. Further educational programs explaining SCC and its use to producers seems warranted.
对俄亥俄州奶牛改良协会体细胞计数（SCC）选项的149名现有接收者、30名SCC选项的过往接收者以及30名从未接收过SCC选项的生产者进行了电话调查。对生产者进行询问，以确定他们对乳腺炎的了解程度、他们如何使用SCC信息、他们对乳腺炎的治疗和预防措施以及他们对兽医服务的使用情况。生产者对乳腺炎的认知表明他们对乳腺炎的后果有很高的认识。然而，10%的参加奶牛群改良测定（DHI）的生产者仍未在挤奶后进行乳头药浴，16%的生产者在挤奶期间对患乳腺炎的奶牛没有采取任何不同的处理方式。SCC数据的现有接收者比SCC数据的过往接收者更频繁地使用这些数据来评估乳腺炎的治疗或控制情况、选择要淘汰的奶牛、确定要提前干奶的奶牛、表明牛群感染情况以及评估乳腺炎的控制情况。未接收者从未参加SCC项目的主要原因是他们认为没有必要。似乎有必要开展进一步的教育项目，向生产者解释SCC及其用途。
