Testing Services
Component analysis for every cow in your herd. The numbers your processor uses to set your milk price. See all milk tests we offer.
Early detection of subclinical mastitis. Catch elevated counts before they hit your bulk tank average.
ELISA screening from the same milk sample, part of our standard DHIA testing panel. No separate blood draw needed. Monitor herd status over time.
Measures how efficiently your herd converts feed protein. High or low MUN points to ration adjustments that save money.
BHB testing identifies subclinical ketosis in fresh cows. Catch metabolic issues in the first weeks of lactation.
Official DHIA production records for your entire herd. Individual cow and herd-level reports, monthly or as needed. Learn about production records.
Why Local
When your bulk tank gets flagged at 2 PM, you need results by morning milking. Not in three business days from a lab two counties away. DCDA processes samples right here in Juneau. Short travel, fast turnaround, fewer chances for something to go wrong between the barn and the bench.
When you call DCDA, someone picks up. Someone who was probably at the Dodge County Dairy Breakfast last June. Your tester knows your herd, your setup, and your operation. That matters when you need answers fast.
We have tested with DCDA for 30 years. They know our herd as well as we do. When our SCC started trending up, they caught it before it cost us.
