Obviously some people know what I'm talking about. The American levels bothered me and I'm Canadian, so I want to know our levels. Thinking I should go organic.

99.9% less than that in the USA. Face it, Canada is a healthier country. I think you are just jealous. I wish I lived in Canada.

The upper legal limit for SCC is 750,000 cells/ml. (as of January 1, 1997) The primary bacterial count used is the standard plate count (SPC), sometimes referred to as the plate loop count. The upper legal limit for SPC is 100,000 bacteria/ml.
Coop/plant quality premium tests include determination of SCC and bacterial numbers, generally by both the SPC and preliminary incubation (PI) methods. Minimum standards to receive bonus payment for quality milk will vary among milk procurement agencies, but in general bonus payments start at 300,000 somatic cells/ml and 10,000 bacteria/ml by both the SPC and PI methods. There are generally other requirements that must be met, such as absence of antibiotics.
Informational tests include the regulatory and coop/plant quality premium tests. In addition, many veterinarians and other laboratories do bulk milk tank cultures (BTMC). This test estimates the total number of bacteria in the bulk tank milk and provides information as to the specific types of bacteria present. It is a good place to start when troubleshooting a herd mastitis problem. The SPC and PI tests do not reveal the specific types of bacteria present.

This appears to be a LOADED QUESTION, not a sincere desire to learn something.
There are elements in the millitant vegan culture who are politically opposed to dairy food of any kind and will use all sorts of dishonest tactics to scare people.
Your "question" is one of them. You think you can "convert" people by using these tactics. I have simply informed the unsuspecting reader of your tricks.
