Farmers

We know that for farmers and their families, competition is tough and professionalization of farming is essential for you to survive and succeed.

Ultimately, healthy products equal healthy profits. Which is where our easy-to-use Delvotest^® system can help you ensure that any antibiotics you give your herd, don’t appear in the milk you sell.

Increasingly, we are seeing tightening legislation around the world with respect to antibiotic residues. Heavy fines and penalties being imposed. Contaminated deliveries will be refused. Monthly delivery penalties imposed, as well as the prospect of being invoiced for the full tanker load if found positive.  

By choosing Delvotest^® you can help ensure that your product conforms to all the latest standards, for a multi-year investment that’s lower than a single fine.

Delvotest^® covers the complete spectrum of antibiotic residues, providing a true helping hand for farmers. What’s more the testing kit is easy-to-use with minimal wastage.

Perhaps most importantly, when you choose Delvotest^® you can be assured of help and support from DSM - an organization that understands your business.
