Have you meters or jars? Whichever way you milk, there is a milk recording option for your herd.
For herds with meters or jars in the parlour. The milk recorder visits, records the volume of each cow and takes a sample for analysis. There is no extra labour for the farmer. Herds must use ICAR approved milk meters or jars (not milk “indicators”).
No up-front cost of meters: the meters are delivered on the day of recording. You are in control of milking time, there is no “stranger” in the pit, and the meter samples and agitates automatically.
For each cow in the herd.
Calculated for each cow.
Herd and group averages, trends, individual cow yields and detailed SCC reports for cows, cow groups and the whole herd.
Record as often as suits your herd, with a minimum number of visits each year. If needed, you can record every month, for example if there is an SCC problem it may be worth recording more often for a while.
All our samples are tested at Independent Milk Laboratories in Bailieborough, Co. Cavan. The lab staff work 7 days a week in 10 hour shifts, and one of their main priorities is getting results back to farmers as quickly as possible. We have over 130 manual milk recorders.
Our milk recording team will contact you shortly.
