Milk testing

[Olivia67]

Does anyone know of, or can recommend, a good milk testing lab for testing butterfat? If location matters, we are in northern Illinois, near Rockford. Also how does one go about sending in the sample, do I have to buy a kit?

Thank you for any information that you can provide.

It is associated with 1 day milk tests and/or DHIR enrollment. My DHIR lab is Langston, which is also the one that handles my records too. If you enroll thorugh ADGA as well you will earn stars and have lactation information available on the ADGA genetics/ADGA goat lookup functions. Only true milk records are supposed to be used in advertising ADGA animals for sale etc. This reminds me I need to re-enroll this year.
