Dairy specialist BouMatic has made a major upgrade to its Gemini UP Milking Robot, equipped with the MilkGenius InLine Milk Analyzer.
Two new features will allow dairy producers to use the system to detect metabolic disorders through an automated system, while providing smart mastitis indications based on advanced data analysis.
MilkGenius has long served as a diagnostic tool, alerting farmers to issues such as (sub)clinical ketosis. With this upgrade, when MilkGenius now detects a cow that tends to suffer from (sub)clinical ketosis due to a negative energy balance, it immediately initiates treatment – without human intervention. It does so through the delivery of extra energy supplements, delivered directly to the cow’s feeding trough, using BouMatic’s liquid feed dispenser system.
This innovation eliminates manual treatment, which is often labor-intensive and can dangerous for the farmer or their staff, and removes the need for farmers to analyze data themselves.
The new Smarter Mastitis Likelihood Score feature is present in the BouMatic herdLineApp. It provides a mastitis indication, including a score, indicating the likelihood of the mastitis warning. The indication with its score is based on multiple milk parameters, including conductivity per quarter, milk yield, fat, protein, lactose percentages and milk temperature.
