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.
