Afimilk introduces a new dimension to dairy farming by implementing the In-Line Milk Lab - the industry’s power couple AfiMilk MPC and AfiLab.
Managed by AfiFarm dairy farm management software, data is used for earlier detection of health problems and nutritional deficits, better control over milk quality and improvement of the entire milking environment for precision milking.
Improved Health: Timely identification of changes in milk production and solids for earlier detection of health problems
Efficient Nutrition: The immediate effect on milk solids enables early detection of nutritional deficits and poor feed quality
Top Milk Quality: Prevention of milk contamination and ensuring proper wash procedures
Precision Milking: Adherence to procedure with fewer irregularities improve the entire milking environment for better overall herd health and management.
Lost Assets
Ketosis - lost milk of 440 lb in New York holsteins, 575 lb in a California dairy
Ruminal Acidosis costs North American dairy industry between $500 million and $1 billion annually.
Costs related to SARA (Sub Acute Ruminal Acidosis) in the farm equals to 1.12$ per cow daily
Mastitis - USA total annual cost of mastitis ~$1.8 billion, ~10% of the total value of farm milk sales
The Solution
Improved Health
Early detection of ketosis for healthier cows. (Download the Ketosis: Early detection and treatement solution note. Watch the Ketosis video.)
Mastitis detection for reducing damages of udder disease
Fresh cow follow-up for optimizing the milk curve
Efficient Nutrition
Sub-Acute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) detection for preventing production losses. (Download the SARA: Another sensible farm management solution note.)
Precise feeding management for reducing feed costs
Alerts of reduced feed-quality for preventing losses in milk production
Top Milk Quality
Prevent loss of bulk milk
Ensure proper CIP wash to prevent bacterial growth in the milking system
Precision Milking
Obtain udder health
Adherence to procedure with fewer irregularities
Maintain a calm milking environment
By providing such vital benefits, the In-line Milk Lab enhances management capabilities, giving dairy managers a competitive edge in their operations.
