Detail description
It is hard determining the milk yield of goats and sheep at individual level. This is a challenge that farmers face when trying to manage their flock or herd precisely.
This challenge can be helped with a milk meter. The milk meter displays easy-to-read individual data on milk yield, instant milk flow and milking time duration in clear red digits (e.g. DeLaval) to simplify effective, daily flock management. Milk conductivity and temperature may be also recorded (e.g., AfiMilk, Lactocorder).
