Others try to get dairymen to believe that they are getting huge
savings and still receiving the same quality of service. Don’t be
fooled. Pennsylvania DHIA never uses pricing gimmicks to
attract business. We still have the best DHIA in the industry.
The best MUN testing program in the country. At 15 cents a sample and
our consistent results it is a program that none can compare. Recently in
an independent test with several DHIA’s that test for MUN, Dr. Jim
Ferguson, Associate Processor of Nutrition of the New Bolton Center,
University of Pennsylvania stated that the Pennsylvania DHIA’s infrared
machine was the most consistent and repeatable.
2. We have the industries highest usable records at 83% used forevaluation
by USDA.
An owner sampler program at a cost of 84 cents per cow
A DHIA owned and directed by dairymen
All processing and lab operations done in one location,
Heifer 98 our newest software program. A powerful Windows program
that lets you track your heifers using action list and user defined status
codes. This program will be available to everyone in the industry. For a
one time price of $29.95 for members and $49.95 for non-members.
To obtain information about any of these programs or to have a
technician stop by to see you call Dean Amick.
