Every milking. More insight. 🥛🎉
Meet DeLaval BioSensors Milk Solids Analysis – a new addition to the DeLaval BioSensors portfolio for DeLaval VMS™ V300, delivering continuous insight into milk solids – fat, protein, and lactose – during every milking.
What do milk solids tell you – and why it matters
Milk solids composition reflects changes in feeding, forage quality, heat stress, and early‑lactation energy demands. When digestion or energy balance shifts, those changes often show up in the milk before they are noticeable in the cow.
Early insight into changes in milk solids levels can help farmers spot developing challenges sooner and adjust management to help prevent potential impacts on production, cow health, or feeding efficiency.
Milk Solids Analysis is installed directly on the milk pipe of the VMS V300 and runs continuously as part of the normal milking routine. Using near‑infrared spectroscopy – a light‑based measurement method – the system analyses milk as it flows through the milk line, without adding anything to the milk or interrupting the process.
There is no need for chemicals, consumables, or manual milk sampling.
All milk solids data is automatically analysed and visualised in DeLaval Plus – DeLaval’s digital management platform that brings together herd, milk, and robot data in one place.
It’s available for DeLaval VMS™ V300 farms as:
– an optional feature on new installations
– an upgrade for existing systems
Sales begin in autumn in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with Asia Pacific to follow.
