Dairy Testing
Microbial Research, Inc. has a full suite of dairy testing services.
Since the very beginning, Microbial Research Inc. has developed strong relationships with local dairies to provide quality microbiological testing that allows them to assess their herd health. Microbial Research Inc. also has a long standing relationship with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) to perform bulk tank analysis.
Microbial Research Inc. specializes in the isolation and identification of mastitis pathogens for assistance with your herd health management program. We perform routine testing according to the National Mastitis Council methods for detection of Mycoplasma species, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella species.
