Dairy producers can speed up the genetic progress of their herds using NMR's new Genetracker; a genomic testing service that identifies the genetic potential of the animal from a very young age. A service already used in the UK for identifying the potential of young bulls, it is now becoming more popular for testing females, particularly heifers.Read more

The pregnancy milk testing service from NMR uses ELISA technology to detect if an animal is pregnant. Able to be used from 28 days post service, trials have shown good levels of accuracy (97%). No additional sampling is required, the result is reported back via iReports, and animals that are classed as ‘Recheck', are automatically retested free of charge the following month. There is no minimum number of animals to be presented each month and no setup fee.Read morePregnancy Testing overview
