Milking Efficiency Module
Milking Efficiency Module, along with the best practices for maximizing milking parlor revenue.
Importance of Data: Utilize data collection and analysis tools to gather minute-by-minute parlor data, enabling dairy farmers to evaluate milking protocols, identify inefficiencies, and address issues promptly.
Parameters Monitored :
1-Cluster attachment frequency and incidents of kick-offs.
2-Milk flow rate, volume, and onset time.
3-Milking curve, providing a snapshot view of milking output.
4-Milking time, including cluster detachment timing.
5-Pulsation and stimulation optimization.
Benefits of Data Utilization:
1-Automation: Set presets for milking protocols to enhance efficiency and ensure optimal udder health.
2-Performance Evaluation: Compare MPC-measured parameters to industry standards to identify deviations and potential problems.
Milk Flow Graph Analysis:
1-Expected Milk Curve: Normal milk flow graph depicting steady rise, peak, and decline in milk flow rate.
2-Problematic Milk Curve: Issues such as milking bimodality, late peak, low peak, and late take-off, indicating potential problems in milking efficiency and udder health.
Next Steps:
1-Continued Monitoring: Utilize the herd management software to track additional key performance indicators (KPIs) and further optimize milking efficiency.
2-Continuous Improvement: Implement corrective actions based on data analysis to maximize milking parlor revenue and ensure cow welfare.
