A suitably qualified dairy expert can compare herd size, number of cows being milked, production per cow, feeding and ration records, reproductive history, cow grouping, culling and replacement records, environmental conditions, and operational changes over the disputed period. Historical production can then be compared with later performance to help identify when the change occurred and which documented conditions correspond with it. USDA NASS milk-production surveys specifically collect the number of cows milked, total milk cows in the herd, and total milk produced and publish milk production per cow.
Milking schedules, parlor records, equipment-maintenance histories, sanitation records, staffing information, bulk-tank data, and herd-management records can help reconstruct how the dairy was operating before and during the disputed period. USDA APHIS dairy studies examine management subjects including recordkeeping, individual animal identification, productivity, housing, milking facilities, cow nutrition, and health-management practices, demonstrating the range of operational information relevant to dairy analysis.
Depending on the issue, a suitably qualified dairy expert may review bulk-tank test results, somatic cell counts, bacterial testing, cooling and storage information, milk-handling records, and changes in herd or milking practices. Those records can help identify when milk-quality conditions changed and whether the change corresponds with documented operational events. Detailed clinical diagnosis, disease etiology, or treatment questions involving mastitis or another animal disease generally call for appropriate Veterinary expertise. USDA APHIS maintains dairy monitoring involving bulk-tank somatic cell counts, while FDA's Grade “A” Milk Safety program operates through a cooperative federal-state framework with NCIMS and the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance and addresses dairy-farm sanitation, milking equipment, cooling and storage, and laboratory testing.

Oil and Gas
Prepares clear, well-supported expert reports outlining methodology, analysis, findings, and opinions.
Provide Deposition Testimony
Explains findings and opinions under oath and responds to questioning during deposition testimony.
Testify in Court
Presents specialized findings and opinions clearly to judges, juries, arbitrators, or other decision-makers.
Useful materials may include herd inventories, individual identification records, daily or monthly milk-production reports, production-per-cow data, bulk-tank records, milking logs, feeding and ration information, breeding and calving records, culling and replacement information, facility photographs, equipment-maintenance records, sanitation documentation, laboratory results, invoices, incident reports, and contemporaneous communications. Keeping the underlying production data is especially important when the dispute concerns the timing or magnitude of a change in dairy performance.
