Monitor somatic cell counts, from every cow at every milking.

SomaDetect's SENTINEL technology identifies trending SCC for every animal in your herd every day. SENTINEL enables your operation to understand the SCC trend of your herd in near real-time, allowing for proactive herd management decisions instead of reactive ones.

 
 

The Power of the Trend

SENTINEL distinguishes itself from traditional lab-based SCC diagnostic systems by utilizing a true trend-based detection method. 

Traditional systems rely on single-point measurements, which require sending milk samples to a lab for individual somatic cell counting. Single-point measurements have a high coefficient of variation ranging from 30% to 55%, require significant labor time, and results lag for up to 5 days. This high variability can result in misdiagnosis of healthy cows and reduced effectiveness in treating cows with mastitis.

SomaDetect’s trend technology combines highly correlated data from multiple aspects of an individual cow's milk with herd data to provide a deeper understanding of the true state of being, surpassing the insights derived from individual milk samplings.

 

Bulk Tank Management

  • SENTINEL allows you to review a daily, weekly and monthly auto-generated shortlist of the cows with the highest likelihood of trending high SCC.

  • Data-Driven Management: With this unique AI Vision technology, you can make effective management decisions that align with your farm’s KPIs.

  • Profits: Gain fast and accurate information to maintain optimal SCC levels in your herd, and secure premiums with your processor.

  • Risk Mitigation: Substantially reduce the potential for rapid bacterial spread in the herd and proactively identify trends within pens.

  • Operational Efficiencies: Maximize your milk production by proactively managing the SCC levels in your bulk tank.

 

Selective Dry Cow Therapy (SDCT)

  • Labor Efficiency: Enhance your dry-off protocol for improved efficiency.

  • Antibiotic Stewardship: Decrease antibiotic usage during dry-offs by 40%-60%.

  • Savings: Save up to $18.50 per cow during dry-off by reducing antibiotic use.
