Sample Collection
• 70% of customers rent samplers from us
• 50% of customers set up sampling themselves
• Samples are collected from a single milking

Cow – Vial linkTwo systems of vial ID:
West: Vials with pre applied non specific barcode (cap or side). Vial is linked at the farm to a specific cow via entry or scan by MR staff

Cow – Vial linkEast:
Pre printed barcode that is specific to a farm/cow and applied to a vial at the farm

Cow – Vial link
For AMS:
– Use/Rely on the AMS ‘sample report’ that indicates which cow was sampled in which of the sampler position #
– Report is printed/viewed on AMS software screen, and barcode is entered/scanned to cow ID in MR staff laptop or cow ID label is applied to corresponding vial

Cow – Vial linkPotential issues:
– Cow ID within AMS box is very good – no issues
– Rest of process is open to human error» Reading sample report correctly
» Keying/scanning/applying labels correctly
» 50% of time, busy farmer does this process vs trained MR staff
» Some cows are not sampled, and can throw sample order out of sequence if not paying attention

Cow – Vial link
Process can have human error – focus is to
minimize.

Cow – Vial linkBest Management Practices:
– Specialized, well trained AMS MR field staff

Training of MR staff andcustomers.

Cow – Vial linkBest Management Practices:
– Specialized well trained AMS MR field staff
– Observe & confirm first 2-3 cows being sampled
– Use of a secondary report – has cow order and is time stamped as to when each cow was milked
– Write cow ID on label/vial when removing from sampler
– Put vials in boxes in same order as out of the sampler

Cow – Vial link
Observation…
Some of the issues surrounding cow & sample ID are not unique to AMS systems, could be in parlours as well.

Cow – Vial link
Future Plans for Improvements:
• Ongoing training of MR Staff & Customers
• Built in vial barcode reader in samplers, that auto links with cow ID in AMS software…?
• Etransfer of sample report info…?
• AMS operation/software improvements…?
Don’t skip any cows, or clearly list cows that were skipped and not sampled
