Quarter calc

Generally, a threshold of 200,000 cells/ml of milk is used to decide whether a cow (or quarter) is infected. Care has to be taken when using this figure as a cow could have a cell count just below 200,000 and have ¾ with a cell count of less than 50,000 and ¼ with a cell count well over 200,000.
