Both clinical and sub-clinical mastitis are usually accompanied by an increase in the somatic cell count (SCC a measure of white blood cells (95%) such as macrophages, segmented neutrophil granulocytes or lymphocytes) in milk. SCCs above a certain level are an indication of immune-system activation and are used as an indicator of sub-clinical , latent or chronic udder infections/mastitis (Concha, 1986 Ostensson et al., 1988), which were shown to affect milk quality, composition and shelf life. Dairy companies therefore impose SCC thresholds or reduce payments to farmers if certain thresholds are exceeded (Hamann, 2001 Urech et al., 1999).

The Ebro headwaters flow on calcareous substratum, specifically sandstone and calcium marls, from the Triassic, Cretacic, and Jurassic. During the Quaternary, at the plain of La Virga (Reinosa), a shallow lake accumulated the deposits of siliceous sandrocks. This old highland lake is now the Embalse del Ebro reservoir. From that point downstream to Conchas de Haro the main channel flows on calcareous rocks from the Cretacic, highly resistant to the erosion.
