Herd Testing
Herd Testing provides you with a window to the production of each individual animal in your herd. LIC collects and analyses milk at times nominated by you during the season, which is then translated into a range of comprehensive animal performance reports which enable you to make strategic decisions.
Herd Testing service involves the collection of individual milk samples from each milking animal in the herd. The volume of each sample is recorded and tested for milkfat, protein, and somatic cells.
Information from Herd Testing cannot be gained in any other way.
