SCC Matters

At Somatic Cell Count Solutions, we empower farmers to improve their somatic cell count through expert consulting and troubleshooting. 

Our Expertise

Somatic Cell Count Solutions excels in consulting with dairy farm businesses, focusing on somatic cell count (SCC) troubleshooting and optimisation.

Founded by Alex Parrott, we provide tailored advice to help farms improve productivity and animal health. Our strategies have proven results and our knowledge is industry leading.  

We work closely with a laboratory, using milk cultures, bacteriology, herd test results and on-farm assessments to identify infection sources and create farm-specific action plans that fit your system.

Our focus is always on clarity, prioritisation,  measurable improvement and cost effectiveness.

Personal Note from Alex:-

I founded Somatic Cell Count Solutions after receiving many calls from farmers asking for help with their SCC.  I have a real passion for the dairy industry, animal health and seeing improvements on farm.  My herd had the lowest regional SCC in my dairy company for 6 consecutive years, and achieved top national rankings over multiple seasons.  I have over 30 years of hands-on dairy farming experience and I understand the pressures of running a dairy operation, staff management and seasonal workloads.  I like to help farmers get real results and look forward to seeing how I can help you achieve your SCC goals.

Testimonials

"His approach consistently reflected a farmer’s perspective"

Alex began by visiting our shed, bringing with him a positive and can-do attitude. From the outset, he helped in numerous ways, demonstrating both expertise and enthusiasm.​

Alex offered valuable advice on all the fundamental aspects of our operations. He conducted thorough tests aimed at reducing our Somatic Cell Count (SCC), showing a deep understanding of the technical requirements involved.

He reminded both the staff and me about the importance of maintaining attention to detail. Alex emphasised not only the minor details but also the larger proceedures necessary to effectively manage and control our SCC.​

A key focus for Alex was always the cost involved and ensuring we achieved the best possible value for every dollar spent. His approach consistently reflected a farmer’s perspective, prioritising practical and economical solutions.​

Alex will employ a variety of techniques to assist with SCC management issues. His methods are practical, efficient, and cost-effective, delivering benefits to everyone involved.
