I am dealing with a herd in Florida that has a very high somatic cell count. They have lost their premium once due to being over 400,000. Does anyone have a good lab where we can send sample to find out what strains we are dealing with? They bought in a lot of cows this spring and believe they did not get Myco but it is time to culture some cultures. They lab they normally use in Florida is closed.
My most satisfactory experience for qualitative bulk tank milk culturing has been at the Minnesota Udder Health Lab.
