The South Carolina Department of Corrections intends to Award a Sole Source to Dairy Heard Improvement Association (DHIA) for the procurement of the sampling services ensuring the SCDC ‘s dairy operations are able to continue meeting the state and federal guidelines for Grade A dairy operations.

 

(DHIA) is a national association which has affiliate members throughout the United States.  Each of these members is assigned to a specific region of the country utilizing state boarders as the point certain for providing services to interested dairymen.  The member which services South Carolina is the United Federation of DHIA’s, 6580 Valley Center Drive Bay 161, Radford, Virginia 24141.  Under the agreement with National DHIA, there are no other members permitted to sell services within the states of South Carolina, North Carolina or Virginia.

Monthly services include confirming daily milk weights, sampling each cow’s milk for somatic cell (SCC), percent milk fat and percent protein. Other sampling services are provided on an as requested basis.  Entire herd profile is contained in a DHIA proprietary herd management software (PCDART).  The database which the software utilizes is maintained on an on-farm computer but cannot be accessed without regularly using this testing service.  The software requires daily on-farm data entry and report generation, as well as updates with the most recent results of each “test day” after processing. 

In addition to the multitude of daily on farm management decisions, the resulting information compiled for each animal ensures that the dairy is able to continue to meet the state and federal guidelines for a Grade A Dairy Operation.  This data is also transferred directly to the United States Department of Agriculture for use in commodity reporting, genetic evaluations and advancement of the dairy cow.
