Dairy Quality Inc., of Queensville, Ontario, Canada, creator of the RT10 device for instant SCC testing using an iPhone and iPod Touch, has entered into long term distribution agreements with Junan Yide Trades Inc. of China and Sustainable Engineering & Farming Alliance Pvt. Ltd. (SEFA) for India and neighboring countries. Both companies have made significant financial commitments to Dairy Quality Inc. indicating their confidence in the company's research and innovative products. Sun Zhongjun, Managing Partner of Junan Yide, says that milk processing companies in China are requiring lower SCC levels in bulk tank milk and have been putting pressure on Chinese Dairy farms to improve milk quality.

Adds Mr. Sun... "We believe the Dairy Quality somatic cell testing device will be an important tool for Chinese dairy farmers to reduce SCC levels in their herds."

Satendra Dusad, CFO, explains "SEFA is a young company promoted by entrepreneurs who have been in the Dairy Farming Industry for over a decade. SEFA is involved in bringing the right technology and management practices to Dairy Farmers & Investors in India for successful Dairy Farm operations. India is suffering with low productivity and even though Dairy Farming has been done for several centuries, there has not been much improvement in productivity. Monitoring Somatic Cell Count can help farmers improve their Dairy Operations and ensure high productivity from their cows by properly managing the dairy farm."

Gary Jonas, president of Dairy Quality, says that adding these distributors to their network will expand Dairy Quality's presence and help farmers lower SCC counts in both of these rapidly developing markets. The company is currently in negotiations with additional distributors and dealers in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand to make more of their products available globally.
