Use Mastitis Risk Category when you need to classify mastitis risk from the somatic cell count in cells per millilitre. Enter Somatic cell count cells/mL using the definitions and units below so the result can be reproduced.

Somatic cell count cells/mL

A finite measured or assumed value greater than or equal to 0.

The published tool contract uses this rule: Classify mastitis risk from the somatic cell count in cells per millilitre.

Risk category

The calculated risk category.

The category is produced by fixed software thresholds. Those cutoffs may differ from a laboratory, field protocol, population, jurisdiction, or current professional guideline.

Retain the original Somatic cell count cells/mL values and their units alongside the result. SCC Linear Score is useful when you instead need to convert a dairy milk somatic cell count to the standard linear score LS = log2(SCC / 100,000) + 3. Bleeding Time Category provides another view by helping you classify a bleeding time in minutes up to 30 as normal (<= 7), borderline (<= 15), or prolonged.

• SCC Linear Score

  Convert a dairy milk somatic cell count to the standard linear score LS = log2(SCC / 100,000) + 3.

• Bleeding Time Category

  Classify a bleeding time in minutes up to 30 as normal (<= 7), borderline (<= 15), or prolonged.

• BP Category Lookup

  Classify a blood pressure reading as normal, elevated, stage-1 or stage-2; systolic must exceed diastolic.
