The EU Directive 46/92 highlighted the importance of somatic cells and drew the attention of both researchers and producers to the possible economic and practical consequences involved. Dairy sheep and goat raising in Europe is mainly concentrated in marginal zones and is undertaken under difficult production conditions. This is a consequence of a tendency by both private and public sectors to develop privileged situations for cattle dairy sector and provide less incentives also for the necessary structural adaptations, know-how and technological advances for the small ruminant sector in the face of changing market requirements.
In the light of the relatively little research carried out in the very critical area of somatic cells, the symposium was organized to evaluate the state-of-the-art and address the short and medium term scientific and technical perspectives with the purpose of stimulating the development of an inter-disciplinary and multi-national networking approach.
The participation of experts and producer organizations from 21 countries and the overall interest that the Symposium proceedings unlocked both at scientific and practical application level, showed the need there was to update the available knowledge and information in this area. The results obtained in most involved countries are presented in these proceedings giving a thorough picture of the situation. A critical summary report of the lively discussions that followed the sessions is also included at the end of this volume.
