Early Detection, Full Control

Afimilk MPC & Milk Meter

Every drop of milk has a story to tell

The Afimilk milking point controller (MPC) and ICAR-approved milk meter gives you full control of the milking process – accurately measuring milk flow, milk yield, conductivity and parlor performance from every cow at every milking. 

Its state-of-the-art conductivity sensor is used for effective and early detection of mastitis, and to reduce the damage caused by udder disease.

Afimilk MPC and Milk Meter in Action

01

Individualized Milking with Accurate Data Collection

The fill and dump design of our ICAR-approved milk meter captures data on every fill, continuously tracking milk weights, conductivity and milking flow thresholds. Installed at each milking point, our meters allow producers to create custom milking profiles per cow based on average milking time and stimulation needs, and even adjust milking point behavior per animal for improved efficiency.  

  • Protect against vacuum fluctuations 
  • Support ideal cluster removal timing 
02

Control at Every Milking Point

The milk meter’s controller, the MPC, is a powerful tool in the parlor, acting as an interface between the milking pit and AfiFarm herd management software.  

The MPC not only controls the milking point to start and stop milking, and initiate milk meter cleaning, it also displays cow data, including cow and group number, milk weights, conductivity and flow rate. Milkers can use the keypad to enter missing IDs, send messages, and enter codes to flag cows for sorting and treatment, and more.  

 

03

Extract Insights from Milk Data

MPC and milk meter data is analyzed in AfiFarm herd management software to help producers make decisions on productivity, labor performance and individual cow health.  

  • Identify production fluctuations and use it to guide animal selection and genetic potential  
  • Train and monitor the milking team to optimize milking routines  
  • Conductivity detects health problems, such as mastitis, early to help you make proactive health decisions and keep contaminated milk out of the tank 
04

Driving Action with Milk Data

The Afimilk MPC and milk meter serves as the anchor of the parlor automation solution, and its data can be used and amplified across the Afimilk solution.  

  • Cows with detected health issues can be sorted when leaving the parlor with AfiSort 
  • When used with the AfiLab inline milk analyzer, you can gain additional health insights, including early detection of ketosis 

REAL STORIES

We are definitely seeing savings from the milk meter side of it, with conductivity as far as mastitis cows. It's excellent at picking up mastitis cows.

David England, Holeshot Farm, NZ

We’re finding sick cows early. That’s money in your pocket instead of just money going down the drain.

Willhem Oppedyk, Oppedyk Dairy, 2,300 Cows, USA

It's really allowed us to dial in our protocols for turnover rates and reproduction decisions and culling decisions. We’re up over 11 pounds of milk flow and almost two gallons of energy corrected milk.
