Instruction Manual

The main purpose of this simulation is to help to increase the quality of milk, of DHI Dairy Farmers, by separating cows with high Somatic Cell Count, thus reducing the number of total Somatic Cell Count(SCC).
1. First, please select farm ID, Sampling Year-Month and enter password.

2. Cows in table are arranged from high to low by Somatic Cell Count in produced milk.

3. Next, please select sequentially the cows with high SCC to simulate the separating of high SCC milk.

4. If unsatisfied with the simulation results, please go back and modify the "Excluding Cows for Tank Milk".

5. Formula=(Total SCC - Separated group SCC)/total milk yield of remaining cows
SCC,
Somatic Cell Count/ml
milk yield, count as Kilograms
Total SCC, number of cows * average milk yield * average Somatic Cell Count
Separated group SCC, sum of (SCC * milk yield) of
separated cows

If milk proportion does not vary greatly with individual differences, 1Kg of milk is approximately 1000ml, the numerator and denominator are multiplied by the same constant K, where K is approximately equal to 1000, therefore omitted.


6. Somatic Cell number may vary greatly with time,therefore the results of simulation is for your reference only.
