Automated DairyComp SCC Trend Alerts

Every morning, WebRun checks your most recent bulk tank somatic cell count result, compares it to your co-op's quality premium and penalty thresholds, cross-checks DairyComp 305 for cows with recent mastitis or high individual cell count history, logs the trend to a sheet, and posts a Slack alert naming the cows most likely contributing before the count triggers a penalty.

In short

How do I catch a rising bulk tank somatic cell count before it costs a penalty?

WebRun checks your bulk tank somatic cell count every morning against your co-op's premium and penalty thresholds, logs the trend to a Google Sheets quality log, and cross-checks DairyComp 305 for cows with recent mastitis or high individual cell counts. It posts a Slack alert naming the likely contributors before the rising trend costs you a quality payment.

  • A rising cell count trend is caught days before it crosses a penalty threshold
  • Likely contributing cows are named instead of searching the whole herd
  • The quality trend log builds itself every morning with no manual entry

Questions, answered

Does WebRun pull the bulk tank result automatically from my co-op?

It reads whatever result you or your hauler has entered into the shared tracking sheet each day. If your co-op offers a portal export, WebRun can be set to check that instead.

How does it decide which cows are likely contributors?

It ranks cows in DairyComp 305 by recent mastitis events and individual high cell count history, so the cows most likely driving the tank average are named first, not just the whole herd.

Will it treat a flagged cow or change her milking order?

No. WebRun only flags likely contributors for your team to check. Any decision to treat, separate, or dump a cow's milk stays with you and your vet.
