The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of the lactoferrin alleles and interaction of BoLA-DRB3 and lactoferrin alleles with the somatic cell count in cow milk. The polymorphism of the lactoferrin gene was identified in blood samples collected from 125 cows. Udder health was determined by test - day milk somatic cell count. Lactoferrin genotype BB was significantly (p<0.01) associated with a decrease of the somatic cell count in cow milk. Due to the small sample the relationship between interaction of BB lactoferrin genotype and BoLA-DRB3*16 with somatic cell count were not established.
