Milk Recording Service for Dairy Herds

Testing milk samples with The Cattle Information Service (CIS) provides dairy farmers with the data to make informed decisions about their future dairy herd performance from feeding to breeding.

CIS offer a number of packages from a simple DIY milk testing system to a full milk recorder service at an interval to suit all needs. We have the milk sample results available within 48hrs of sample receipt, with an alert sent as soon as the results are processed.

The CIS Milk Recording service is available without any contracts keeping it simple to use.
