Advanced Dairy Technology, Inc. (ADT) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the California DHIA organized to provide state-of-the-art testing tools for DHIA organizations, private testing companies, or milk testing laboratories. We have a broad range of products and services, and our commitment to our customers is a top priority. We realize how important good tools are for testing and we appreciate our customers need for service and support after the sale! Some of our Products and Services Available Are:
RFID Tags – We market a full line of RFID tags in both HDX and FDX formats from either Destron or AllFlex. Both perform well for on-farm management uses, as well as test-day applications. Prices are very competitive in this arena and so we encourage DHIA’s to establish relationships direct with the vendors on tags. We can assist you in this area. RFID Scanners/Wands – Our first choice in RFID wands are the I.D.ology products because they offer the best mix of affordability, durability, and usability in DHI herd testing situations. These wands use patented vibration recognition technology that lets Testers know when a tag has been read, without having to look for lights or listen for beeps. They utilize an 18-hour Lithium-Ion battery with smart-charge circuitry that allows for the latest and best battery technology for the DHIA Tester. This is a real key, because RFID wands used in DHIA testing must be both rugged and dependable. They must work longer and harder than most wands are designed to work day-in and day-out.

Waikato
SpeedSampler™ Meter – With over 450 units sold and installed in
the US and Mexico, we are seeing exciting things from this new meter
technology. The Waikato SpeedSampler gives the tester a certified milk
weight and 25 ml sample every time, with no dials, hoses, or springs
in a meter that
is
practically un-breakable. The meter comes in two basic configurations.
The first uses a fixed V-block and the second comes with a heavy-duty
stainless steel fully adjustable bracket that allows for up and down
as well as side-to-side adjustment for work in any parlor configuration.
DHIA pricing for the fixed V-block units is $269 in boxes of 6. DHIA
pricing for the SS adjustable units is $329 in boxes of 6. A great option
for existing users of the popular MarkV model is a conversion kit which
gives you an entire new flask as part of the SpeedSampler conversion
(5 minute process) for only $169. Feel free to call for pricing and
volume discounts.
