Nationwide average somatic cell count (SCC) levels are around 275,000.
Herds with SCC <200,000 will generate $100 more per cow per year as compared to herds >200,000

Increased profits come from:

• Increased milk production
• Decreased replacement costs
• Less discarded milk
• Fewer drug costs and vet fees
• Decreased labor costs
• Increased processing yields
  

Dairy Comp's newletter from last quarter 2007:
The US dairy herd is making 40% more milk using 40% of the cows and only 62% of the feed it used 30 years ago.
