Online Milk Sensing Issues for Automatic Milking
A review of the state-of-the-art sensing technology for automatic milking systems (AMS) suggests that while the sensing systems currently being used lack the sensitivity for automated diversion of ‘abnormal’ milk, they do provide sufficient information for motivated dairy producers to achieve milk quality that meets or exceeds national averages. Electrical conductivity and milk color are the mo...
متن کاملAutomatic milking systems, farm size, and milk production.
Automatic milking systems (AMS) offer relief from the demanding routine of milking. Although many AMS are in use in Europe and a few are used in the United States, the potential benefit for American farms is uncertain. A farm-simulation model was used to determine the long-term, whole-farm effect of implementing AMS on farm sizes of 30 to 270 cows. Highest farm net return to management and unpa...
متن کاملDay-to-day variation in milk yield and milk composition at the udder-quarter level.
Automatic in-line measurement of milk composition and milk yield could be a useful tool in management of the dairy herd. Data on milk components and milk yield provide information on milk quality alterations and cow health status but are also useful in planning feeding and breeding. In automatic milking systems, udder quarters are milked individually, enabling analysis and recording at the udde...
متن کاملMilk yield and mammary growth effects due to increased milking frequency during early lactation.
Increased milking frequency (IMF) at the beginning of lactation has been shown to increase milk yield not only during IMF but also after its cessation. The objectives of this experiment evaluated the effects of increased milking frequency initiated during early lactation on mammary growth and effects on milk yield (MY). Thirty-one cows were divided into treatment groups: 1) 2X: cows milked twic...
متن کاملEstimating efficiency in automatic milking systems.
Milking data of 34 single automatic milking system (AMS) units on 29 Galician dairy farms were analyzed to determine the system capacity in each farm under actual working conditions. Number of cows, milk yield, milkings per cow per day, actual milking time, rejected milking time, cleaning time, and machine downtime were used to determine the number of cows milked per AMS unit to obtain the opti...
