Service to New York State

We promote the production of high quality milk through the control of mastitis and the avoidance of antibiotic residues in milk through field and laboratory diagnostic evaluations and recommendations.

The program also provides current information on new mastitis control technology and is a source of information on new state and national programs to improve milk quality and food safety associated with mastitis and milk hygiene.

We offer expertise in diagnostic services, milking management evaluation, therapy recommendations, mastitis prevention, education and research.

Locations

Our four regional laboratories in Ithaca, Cobleskill, Canton and Warsaw serve as an extension of the Animal Health Diagnostic Center, assisting in performing field and laboratory diagnostic evaluations of dairy problems, obtaining diagnoses and promoting the control of other infectious diseases affecting the agricultural industry in New York.
