Example:	100 cow herd averaging 20 litre per day
	Cell count loss per day for the day is £ 10.00
	Cell count loss per year for the herd is £10.00 x 365 = £ 3650
	TBC loss per day for the herd is £ 5.00
	TBC loss per year for the herd is £ 5.00 x 365 = £ 1825
	Total TBC and Cell count loss = £ 5475 per year plus associated costs due to treatments and reduced milk
