Services

We at Udder Health Systems stand ready to aid our clients in meeting all their microbiological testing needs. If we are not currently running the tests you are interested in, we will set up new tests to meet your testing needs. We also have affiliations with chemistry laboratories to perform a wide variety of inorganic and organic testing on water samples. This allows our clients to conveniently obtain complete water testing services for compliance with the Department of Ecology, Department of Health, or the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. We will try to help you identify a source for laboratory services we do not offer at this time.

Our Laboratory constantly strives to use the most sensitive and specific methods available to detect the major and minor pathogens of the bovine mammary gland in bulk tank milk and individual cow milk. We have developed a number of environmental sample analysis methods to detect major environmental mastitis organisms in water and bedding. We can help you evaluate the effectiveness of sanitizers used on the dairy by performing tests for Total Iodine and Free Iodine and we can also check for bacterial contaminants in sanitizers. Talk to us about our automated data management system and the custom reporting options we offer. If you would like to learn more about our laboratory operating standards which we feel are necessary to insure high quality mastitis microbiology results, please check out the lab page. This is the way we operate our laboratory. Does the laboratory service you use measure up to this standard? For a detailed list of the laboratory services we offer, refer to our price list.

Our office hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays. We operate 24 hours every day and can accept and perform testing during non-office hours by appointment. We have a no-charge private courier service that brings samples into the lab each weekday from Skagit, Island, Snohomish and King Counties. We receive reliable daily deliveries from UPS regular ground service in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Overnight express service brings samples in from clients all over the United States. Please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your testing needs.
