Water Testing _ NML’s water testing service focuses on testing for enterobacteria and faecal coliforms - two key indicators of bacterial contamination in water supplies. This is relevant not just when private water supplies are being used, but also for checking mains water at point of use. If the contamination comes into contact with cows or milking equipment, milk quality can be drastically affected. This can then be reflected in increased bactoscan and thermoduric counts. This service fulfills Red Tractor assurance requirements, confirming when results are in excess of 100 CFU/ml. The results of NML water testing are presented through a test certificate that confirms whether either enterobacteria or faecal coliforms are present in the sample above 100cfu/ml. Our Water Testing Kits...

Selective Dry Cow Therapy _ NMR offers a tool in Herd Companion that helps you decide which cows within your herd should be suitable for Selective Dry Cow Therapy (SDCT). Endorsed by milk buyers and vets alike, SDCT is a pioneering approach to the management of dairy herds that helps reduce unnecessary antibiotic use - it targets only those cows with evidence of udder infection, negating the need for blanket use of antibiotics in all cows at drying off. SDCT involves evidence-based decision making, so the better the evidence you have the more confident you can be of successful outcome. Gathering data at both herd and cow level is important; regular and repeated individual cow SCCs, accurate mastitis records and working with your vet are essential. The Selective Dry Cow Tool in Herd Companion offers: • Collation of all your SCC and pathogen data in one place • Herd level summary of NML bulk milk tank results • Quarterly bulk milk mastitis pathogen testing (at extra cost) using spare NML bulk samples • Summary of the number of mastitis cases per 100 cows (NMR Recorded Herds) • Dry period SCC summary (NMR Recorded Herds) NMR Customer Services: 03330 043043 / customerservices@nmrp.com 37
