DCDA tests for the components and health markers that affect your milk check and your herd health. All testing is done from a single milk sample collected on your farm during regular test day visits.
Component analysis for every cow in your herd. These are the numbers your processor uses to set your milk price. Tracking components over time helps identify cows that earn their keep and cows that do not.
Early detection of subclinical mastitis. Elevated SCC in individual cows can be caught and addressed before it affects your bulk tank average and triggers penalties from your processor.
ELISA screening from the same milk sample. No separate blood draw needed. Johne's is a progressive disease with no cure. Regular screening helps you monitor herd status and make informed culling decisions.
Measures how efficiently your herd converts feed protein into milk protein. High MUN means wasted feed dollars. Low MUN may indicate protein deficiency. Either way, it points to ration adjustments that save money.
BHB testing identifies subclinical ketosis in fresh cows during the first weeks of lactation. Catching metabolic issues early means faster intervention and fewer downstream health problems.
Most members test monthly. Some larger herds test every other week. We will help you decide what frequency makes sense for your operation.
No. Our testers work during your regular milking times and handle everything.
Most results are available within 48 hours of sample collection.
