4.2. Is it possible to control SCC?<br />

In France, <strong>the</strong> comparison <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> evolution <strong>of</strong> annual SCC between Roquefort and Pyrenees<br />

areas gives an indirect positive answer to this question (Fig. 10).<br />

During <strong>the</strong> period 1995/1997, <strong>the</strong> level <strong>of</strong> SCC was comparable in <strong>the</strong> two areas <strong>of</strong><br />

production. During <strong>the</strong> last 10 past years, <strong>the</strong> average SCC <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Roquefort flocks dropped from<br />

750,000 cells/ml to 500,000 cells/ml; a 33 % reduction. In <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>the</strong>re is no clear<br />

evolution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> average SCC in Pyrenees flocks. In <strong>the</strong> Roquefort area, SCC is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
