Popis:	A total of 246 observation of test day milk yield (TDMY), fat percent and somatic cell count (SCC) of 25 lactating does (2-6 years old) from each of Black and Meriz goat were used in this study. Milk yield was recorded at monthly intervals, commencing from the 30 th day after kidding till the does were dried off. Also, the external udder measurements of does were performed. Results revealed that a non-significant negative correlations were found between SCC and TDMY in both Meriz and Black goats except that at 3 rd collection in Black goat was significant (r=-0.421, P 0.05) in both breeds. In Meriz goat, SCC was negatively correlated with udder circumference (r=-0.550, P
