SCC (Somatic Cell Count) refers to the number of somatic cells in milk, mainly including white blood cells and a small amount of shed cells from breast epithelial tissue. Somatic cells are the natural components of milk and also play an important defense force in the immune system of dairy cows. A normal somatic cell level indicates that the mammary glands of dairy cows are healthy and free from infection. However, when the mammary glands are affected by inflammation such as mastitis caused by bacterial infection, the immune system of the dairy cow will send more white blood cells to the infected area. Therefore, the number of somatic cells will rise rapidly. This change can serve as an early warning signal for breast health problems. Regular monitoring of SCC can help identify problems early, reduce the use of antibiotics, optimize cattle management and ensure that every drop of milk meets high quality and safety standards.

SCC tester, also called somatic cell counter machine or somatic cell count milk tester, is a portable detection tool specifically designed for dairy farms and dairy product management. It can quickly measure the number of somatic cells in milk on the spot, providing scientific and quantifiable data support for the health of dairy cows and the quality of milk. Compared with traditional laboratory testing, the greatest advantage of SCC tester lies in its convenience and real-time performance. Ranchers do not have to wait for long laboratory reports and can immediately obtain somatic cell count results at the milking site. This means that any mastitis or potential health problems can be detected and intervened in a timely manner, helping pastures reduce the health risks and economic losses of dairy cows.

Improve economic benefits

By promptly detecting mastitis and health issues,milk production losses and drug expenses can be reduced.Also, the income and operational efficiency of the dairy farm can be enhanced.

Support scientific management

Data of SCC tester can be used for herd management,feeding optimization and production plan adjustment,making ranch management more scientific and efficient.

Enhance operational convenience

SCC tester is portable and has rapid detection.Even on the ranch site,the measurement can be easily completed without the assistance of a laboratory.

Simplify data recording & tracking

SCC tester automatically records each measurement,allowing long-term monitoring of herd health trends and production performance,providing traceable farm data.

Improve herd production efficiency

Timely detection of health problems can reduce the spread of diseases and drug abuse, ensure the health of dairy cows and improve the overall herd production.

Support quality certification & standards

The collected data can serve as a reference for milk quality monitoring and certification,helping farms meet certification or market standards for high-quality dairy products.

SCC tester can help ranchers detect mastitis and other health problems in time, effectively avoiding milk production loss and significantly reducing the cost of drugs and treatments. This not only directly reduces expenses but also maintains the stable production capacity of herd and enhances the overall efficiency of the ranch. By continuously monitoring the somatic cell level, ranchers can ensure the stability of milk source quality, increase the production of high-quality milk and achieve higher selling price and profit in the market. Meanwhile, by using the data provided by somatic cell count milk tester, the ranch can optimize feed distribution, milking arrangements and management strategies, achieving efficient resource allocation. Whether in the short-term daily operation or in the long-term investment return of the ranch, somatic cell counter machine can bring significant economic value to the ranch, making it more scientific and refined and creating sustainable income for investors and operators.

SCC tester is not only a tool for monitoring the health of pastures, but also an important assistant for promoting sustainable operations. Through somatic cell detection data, ranchers can scientifically plan the milking process, feed distribution and herd management, ensuring resource optimization and environmentally-friendly operations. Meanwhile, continuous data tracking helps herd maintain stable health, improve long-term milk production performance and milk source quality, achieving the dual goals of economic benefits and sustainable development.

SCC tester enables ranchers to efficiently monitor the health of herd and the milk source quality in their daily operations. The device is compact and portable. Staff only need a small amount of milk sample to quickly obtain somatic cell count data. The test results can not only be viewed instantly but also be automatically saved, facilitating long-term tracking and analysis.

Only three simple steps:
•Collect sample and prepare for testing
•Place sample into SCC tester and start the device
•Read result in minutes and save data automatically

Regular health check & milking management

Specialized monitoring of high-risk herds

Long-term health trend tracking

To ensure the accuracy and long-term stable operation of SCC tester, daily maintenance and standardized operation are of vital importance. After each use, the detection tube, sample container and equipment parts that have come into contact with milk sample should be cleaned immediately to prevent residues from drying up or contaminating the sensor. Regularly clean the tester casing and internal contact parts with the recommended cleaning agent or disinfectant. In addition, it is very necessary to establish maintenance daily logs. Each cleaning, disinfection and calibration operation should be recorded for tracking the condition and historical performance of the tester. This standardized maintenance process can ensure the continuous and stable operation of SCC tester in the daily use of the ranch and extend the service life of the somatic cell count milk tester.

SCC (Somatic Cell Count) measures the number of somatic cells in milk. Somatic cells are mainly composed of white blood cells and mammary epithelial cells and the quantity reflects the health condition of mammary glands in dairy cows.

Generally, SCC of less than 100,000 cells/mL is considered as a good SCC score. If the SCC is lower than 200,000 cells/mL, it maybe a risk of mild inflammation or potential mastitis. If it is more than 200,000 cells/mL, it usually indicates that the breast has been infected or is significantly inflamed.

Mild mastitis can be relieved by promptly extruding infected milk, keeping the nipples clean and combining with anti-inflammatory and supportive treatments. Bacterial mastitis usually requires targeted antibiotic treatment combined with local medication for the breast.

The recovery time of mastitis in dairy cows depends on the type and severity of the infection. Mild mastitis can improve significantly within about 3 to 5 days after appropriate treatment. Moderate or severe mastitis may take 2 weeks or even longer to fully recover.

SCC tester is suitable for all types of dairy cows and can be used in both small family farms and large commercial dairies. Its portable design makes it ideal for on-site, rapid somatic cell count monitoring, helping farmers quickly detect udder health issues.

For the portable SCC tester we use, no additional chemical reagents need to be added. Just add the milk sample directly to the test area and the somatic cell count can be quickly measured. The operation is simple and safe and it avoids the trouble of using and handling chemical reagents.

Only about 2 to 5 milliliters of sample are needed to complete SCC test. The specific sampling volume depends on the detection method used or the requirements of the reagent kit. When sampling, it is necessary to ensure that the samples are fresh and free from contamination.

SCC tester provides highly accurate and reliable results compared to laboratory testing methods. Its advanced detection technology ensures precise somatic cell count measurements directly from milk samples, enabling timely intervention and improving overall milk quality.
