AfiLab in Action

01

Component Analysis at Each Milking Point

Installed between the milk meter and the milk line, AfiLab is an inline milk component analyzer that measures fat, protein and lactose per milk meter pulse. Unlike DHI testing, which offers one data point per month, AfiLab delivers two to three high-quality milk component data points per cow, per milking.  

Plus, AfiLab can detect blood in the milk and automatically remove the milking cluster based on your custom thresholds. Independent testing has confirmed AfiLab operates within flow lines without compromising udder health or system performance.  

02

Extract Component and Ration Insights

The data collected by AfiLab is analyzed in the AfiFarm software to deliver insights on individual cow health, nutrition and performance based on trends and thresholds.  

The depth of data collected on each cow allows producers to quickly adjust rations based on the most profitable component measures. Making responsive least cost/greatest benefit ration decisions will increase the value of milk based on components while also maximizing feed efficiency, which will lower feed costs. 

03

Identify Sick Cows Sooner to Save Money

By combining milk yield, conductivity and milk component data, AfiLab helps detect health issues at the earliest stages which will improve outcomes and dramatically change the way you manage treatments. Early intervention limits the health and economic impacts of:  

  • Metabolic stress 
  • Negative energy balance 
  • Mastitis 
  • Ketosis 
  • Sub-Acute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA)
