New Raw Milk Testing Service Ready for the 2026 Dairy Season

We are pleased to announce a new raw milk testing service ahead of this year’s dairy season, expanding our support for New Zealand’s dairy sector with independent laboratory services for raw milk collection and analysis.

The new service encompasses raw milk composition, quality and chemistry testing, delivered from a purpose-built raw milk testing laboratory established at our Hamilton site. Building on our position as New Zealand’s largest privately owned analytical testing laboratory and our long-standing role as an independent provider of testing services, this expansion brings dedicated capability to a critical part of the dairy supply chain.

We have the strategic view that the industry benefits from access to independent laboratory services for raw milk collection - strengthening choice, capability and confidence for dairy processors, suppliers and farmers alike.

Business continuity and supply chain resilience are also key benefits of this new laboratory capability. Our expansion into raw milk testing is built on the attributes that customers have long associated with Hill Labs: being reliable, supportive, responsive, local and trusted. As a 100% New Zealand-owned and operated business trusted since 1984, we are proud to invest in services that help underpin the strength and resilience of the dairy industry.
