The Number One Farmer Owned Milk Recording Company
The Cattle Information Service (CIS) is a leading independent and trusted provider of milk recording and bovine health testing services for farmers in Great Britain. Our portfolio of services provides dairy and beef farmers, nutritionists, and vets with the data they need to measure, monitor, and manage herds.
The milk, blood, and tissue samples we test provide a wealth of information and data to assist in making informed decisions about breeding, feeding, and overall farm management to maximise the herd’s output and profit.
CIS prides itself on delivering accurate and quality data. Samples are tested at our privately owned and independent Laboratory in Shropshire. Under its robust Quality Management System, this testing facility is UKAS accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ICAR approved.
We are proud to offer fixed prices on all our services to ensure our customers get the best value for their business. Our Health Testing service can be offered without contracts, making them simple to use. One of our nationwide team of CIS Area Managers can arrange a visit and advise you on the best CIS services for your herd, call 01923 695319 or email info@thecis.co.uk
