SOMATIC CELL COUNT

A minimum of one test per month is carried out – there is no maximum but in normal circumstances it is our aim to test at least one sample each week.

The geometric average of the number of tests carried out is used for payment purposes for that month. This should not be confused with the EU requirement which is a three month geometric average.
