mastitis seriously hurts the economics of dairy farms: it accounts for 71% cases of reduced milk yield, 16% of discarded milk and 11% in veterinary costs. The disease often develops because of overmilking, when an apparatus not removed in time continues to run idle and damages the udder of cows.
The new development takes control entirely into its own hands, freeing milkmaids from the need to monitor the process continuously.
According to the developers, the module created is easy to use and outperforms foreign solutions on a number of parameters. Unlike imported models, the domestic sensor tracks milk flow separately in each quarter of the udder and is equipped with a built-in mastitis detection algorithm. The device integrates with any milking equipment — systems with bucket milking, milk pipelines or milking parlors.
