Timely identification of changes in milk production and solids for earlier detection of health problems
The immediate effect on milk solids enables early detection of nutritional deficits and poor feed quality
Prevention of milk contamination and ensuring proper wash procedures
Uniform procedures and fewer irregularities improve the entire milking environment for better overall herd health and management
The In-line Milk Lab provides alerts for elevated fat-to-protein ratio above a threshold level correlated with early-lactation ketosis. Early detection of ketosis results in a well-managed return to energy balance, which is correlated to higher fertility and milk production and a lower risk of other metabolic diseases.
The In-line Milk Lab measures yield and milk conductivity, alerting for signs of mastitis. Early mastitis detection and treatment reduces damages and milk losses.
Monitoring production during early stages of lactation is especially critical for identifying animals failing to perform. Early attention to these animals gets them to the expected production curve.
The In-line Milk Lab detects changes in milk solids, indicating deviations in feed consumption at early stages to allow corrections. It reduces damage associated with health, reproduction and milk quality.
By measuring milk fat, and protein production, the In-line Milk Lab allows for accurate planning of feeding regimes and the effects of any change in feed.
The In-line Milk Lab indicates milk fat reduction on a group level, indicating SARA and allowing feed correction. In addition to preventing production losses, it also helps to prevent complications such as laminitis.
The In-line Milk Lab blocks the start of the milking function for cows identified as “milk rejection” (colostrum, antibiotics, high SCC) and automatically stops the milking process when blood is detected in the milk to prevent erroneous contamination of the bulk milk.
The wash-monitoring module follows up wash procedures at each milking point. Wash temperature, hot-wash time and detergent concentration are continuously monitored. Alerts are sent for any deviation from the desired levels.
The In-line Milk Lab measures milking times and flow rates, parameters used for analyzing and evaluating the quality of animal preparation for milking/milk let-down, which are a must for adequate milking.
The In-line Milk Lab alerts for cows demonstrating restless behavior (kick-offs, slow milk let down, double attachments, and more) which are the primary indicators of faults and interferences during milking.
The In-line Milk Lab controls pulsation, stimulation and cluster removal for precise milking. It enables automatic adjustment of milking parameters for each cow per her milking status (fresh cows, mid-lactation, pre-dry), providing the flexibility needed for customizing milking according to each cow’s physical state.
