How it works

No hand-filled bottles. No paperwork. Just a clean sample, every time.

DairySmart inline sampling in the milking shed

A patented inline device sits on every bail, so each sample fills straight from cup to pottle — nothing else touches it. Every pottle is matched to its cow using her EID tag, not a clipboard, so the result you get back is always the right cow.

Fitted to every bail

The inline device is already there — no extra step for you or your staff on testing day.

In the shed

Clean sample, no contamination

Milk goes straight from cow to pottle, so there's no cross-over and no false flag on a healthy cow.

Every sample

Result in 48 hours

Matched by EID, tested, and back to you — no chasing, no waiting around.

48 hours

Simple, upfront pricing

One sample, one price. No sign-up required.

Benefits of DairySmart

Fewer false results

No cross-contamination means fewer false positives and fewer false negatives — so you're acting on the right cows, not chasing the wrong ones.

Short turnaround time

Results back in 48 hours, so you're making decisions on current data — not last month's.

Catch problem cows early

Combine with culture testing to identify problem cows early and know exactly what you're dealing with — not just that something's wrong.

Know what's really going on in your herd

A herd test gives you a health check on every cow in the herd. Individual SCC results help you find cows that may have an udder health problem — including cows that look completely normal in the shed. This gives you a chance to investigate problems before they turn into clinical mastitis or start costing production.

Common questions

Do I have to sign up to anything ongoing?

No. Book a test when you need one — no scheme, no enrolment.

Does a high SCC result tell me what's causing it?

No — SCC tells you there's inflammation, not the cause. A high-SCC cow may have a mastitis-causing pathogen, but you need to culture the milk to find out what pathogen (if any) is actually driving the elevated SCC or mastitis.

What do I do if a result comes back high?

That's where culture testing comes in. Test 20 high-SCC cows for $299.99+GST. Testing more than 20? Get your local DairySmart rep to help — at no additional cost.

What do I get back?

SCC and fat + protein results per sample within 48 hours. With the further option to have your highest SCC animals cultured to identify any subclinical infection early, keeping more milk in the vat.
