DSM

Forty years ago, DSM introduced Delvotest®, an easy to use, reliable, antibiotic residue test for farmers, dairies, and milk control laboratories. Today, Delvotest® is the gold standard for antibiotic residue testing in the global dairy industry, since it provides the confidence to meet increasingly stringent global legislation and quality demands.

When it comes to individuals daily food consumption, the last thing we seem to worry about is the presence of antibiotic residue in our meats or dairy products. But if a dairy cow had an antibiotic in its system that was designed to fight off a bacterial infection, the residue from the antibiotic could easily be carried over to the milk the cow produced, which is not good. If the entire tank truck of milk was contaminated with antibiotics, the whole thing must be discarded per the FDA.

Nelson-Jameson had the chance to sit in with our friends from DSM, producers of the Delvotest line of products, at the World Dairy Expo this Fall in Madison, Wisconsin. This massive show, bringing the dairy farm world together, is a great chance for us to talk with customers and work right alongside our strategic partners at DSM. Delvotests, for those that may not know, are an industry mainstay for testing for antibiotics in milk, a key concern for dairy farmers, milk procurement facilities, and beyond.

The topic of tetracycline drugs dominated the conversations with our customers this year at the booth, due to the recently enacted pilot program for the National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments (NCIMS) focused ontesting for tetracyclines. We were able to assure customers that they could relax…as Delvotest already takes care of tetracycline concerns,

Nelson-Jameson, Inc. and DSM are proud to announce a new Delvotest® Antibiotic Residue Tests website! Geared towards meeting the needs of dairy farmers, dairy labs, and artisan/farmstead operations, the site features information on an array of kits, troubleshooting tips, and order links.

As part of our mutual commitment to food safety, Nelson-Jameson, Inc. and DSM sought to create a site where users in the Americas could learn more about the dangers of antibiotic residues in milk and how to most effectively select and utilize Delvotest® products to both protect the public health and the economic vitality of their dairy/cheese operations.
