Cell Count monitoring is important because if the number of somatic cells increases, milk yield is likely to fall. This is primarily due to the damage of milk-producing tissue in the udder caused by mastitis pathogens and the toxins produced, particularly when epithelial cells are lost.

CIS Cell Count service includes:

• Postal service for samples to help keep costs to a minimum
• Collection service available using one of the CIS Milk Recorders to take samples and deliver to the lab
• Results turned round within 48hrs
• Butterfat & protein analysis included upon request
• Paper reports available by fax or post
• Reports available online to view from mobile, tablet or desktop
• SMS alert to mobile when results published online
