The AgSource Food and Environmental Laboratories offer various milk tests that can help dairy producers improve their herd's milk quality
Bulk Tank Cultures
Bulk tank cultures screen for the presence of mastitis-causing bacteria infecting the herd and quantify a dairy's mastitis problem. They are an excellent first step for any herd implementing a mastitis control program.
Individual Cow Cultures
Once a herd has determined the major mastitis-causing pathogens infecting the herd, AgSource individual cow cultures identify the pathogens infecting specific animals.
