"The DCC gives me the ability to act instead of waiting for results. We haven’t had as much bulk tank somatic cell count fluctuation since we started using the DCC and we are now monitoring the herd much more effectively". |

"With DeLaval cell counter DCC we always know where we stand with the somatic cell count in our herd. If the somatic cell counts are elevated in the bulk tank we start looking for suspicious cows. This unique instrument pays for itself by helping us make our monthly premiums". |
"If you have a problem in your herd then fast answers could save you big money."
"The main advantage with the DCC is that you get the cell count immediately - whenever you want to see it."
"The main advantages of using the DCC are the direct result and the ability to measure somatic cell counts at quarter level - which we could not do before. This is excellent for helping isolate the problem cows."

"We started out at 200,000 to 220,000 and now we are typically running at about 180,000. We’ve been very pleased with the results that we’ve benefited from with the use of this DeLaval somatic cell counter, that we are using.” <56 K - 256K - 768K - 1000K>
“We have elected to sample dry cows with the DCC at final milking. We’ve identified those that have an SCC of 200,000 or less and elected not to dry-treat them – to save money. <56 K - 256K - 768K - 1000K>
“I found the DeLaval cell counter easy to use. It’s very compact, small and works well. You just take the sample during milking and then it’s easy to see afterwards, what the cell count is. It works very good." < 56K - 256K - 768K - 1000K>
