The importance of a fast turnaround of results

Did you know that NMR core recorded customers receive their milk recording results in approximately two days of the samples leaving the farm, and their PCR BVD results within 48 hours*. These vital turnaround times are helping dairy farmers identify and manage cows with high SCC counts in good time. The Fawcett family has been farming Ireby Hall Farm for over 100 years and has run the Peasber Herd of Montebeliardes since the early 2000s. The father and son team (Andrew and Josh) told us why they have recently moved their milk recording to NMR. 

“We're really impressed with how quickly they get the results to us," says Andrew. "After all, what's the point of sampling if you don't get your results quickly? A fast turnaround of my results helps me to keep on top of when cows go dry. Plus, it’s vital I receive my cell counts quickly so I can identify, isolate and treat any high cell count cow.”

Andrew adds that in addition to a fast turnaround, data quality is extremely important in managing his herd. He also appreciates being able to access and share data with his farm vets simply, easily and automatically using NMR’s Herd Companion. “This makes my life so much easier,” he says, “I like that!”
