Lab Services - Component Analysis
On a per test basis, individual cow milk samples can be analysed for Fat, Protein, SCC and MUN. Reports are returned to the producer directly from the lab or faxed (to your vet's office or other source.)
LAB FORMS FOR NON-DHI HERDS:
Alberta & Saskatchewan Lab Analysis
Somatic Cell Count (SCC)
Individual cows are analysed for SCC levels. The report also lists the individual cow linear score and summarizes results on a herd trend basis. For an additional fee, members may have a copy of this report sent directly to their herd veterinarian.
Milk Urea Nitrogen (MUN)
MUN analysis involves measuring urea levels in milk which is a useful tool for managing and optimizing a feeding program. It is another piece of the feed management puzzle.
Electronic Registration Application (ERA)
Your DHI Field Staff can now register your calves/cows with Holstein Canada electronically on test day. If you already provide your breeding information to DHI, your DHI Field Staff will only need the name of the calf, the EZE-IR/NLID tag number and the management number of the calf to complete the registration application. Benefits to you will include:
- Accurate timely registrations at any purity level
- No more paperwork for registrations
- No more late fees for registrations
Detailed information and DHI fees for this service are available from your fieldstaff.
Forage and Soil Analysis (Ontario Only)
Forage and soil analysis can be arranged via the established DHI courier network with Agri-Food Labs in Guelph.
