    abstract = {The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of protected fat supplementation on Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) of milk in Saanen×Kilis crossbred dairy goats. A total of 17 primiparious does were allocated into 2 groups as trial and control. Both trial and control groups were fed ad-libidum with alfalfa hay and a concentrate  involving  12.5  MJ  ME  kg <SUP>1</SUP>  dry  matter  and  160  g kg<SUP>-1</SUP>  crude protein. Trial group received 100  g  doe <SUP>1</SUP> of  protected  fat  during  8  weeks  from  7th day of kidding. Milk samples were taken 8 times with 14-30 day intervals throughout lactation. SCC was determined with microscopic direct counting method, after DNA staining. A lower but non-significant SCC values were observed in the milk of trial group for first half of lactation period. It was concluded that protected fat supplemented-feeding did not affect significantly SCC of milk in dairy goats.}
