"Afimilk" milking parlours, herd managment

Description: Our years of R&D and farming experience combined to help us achieve one objective: to automate the farmer’s skills in distinguishing a cow’s status. From detecting estrus to identifying specific health indicators, the AfiMilk system has a proven, successful record in pinpointing animals that require attention. Furthermore, by identifying nutrition problems, analyzing milking procedure faults, and alerting for equipment malfunctions, AfiMilk has become an important tool in preventing operational damage on the dairy farm. AfiMilk tools provide dairy farm managers with the information required for a practical daily agenda of cow care. AfiMilk’s accurate detection allows the operator to focus on the specific cows that require attention, thereby facilitating care of individual animals in herds of all sizes, reducing the cost of undetected health problems, and improving herd fertility and production. AfiMilk sensors installed at the milking points collect valuable data about the cows and their milk in real time during milking. Data is aggregated and analyzed using AfiFarm - proprietary PC-based software where built-in reports and tools related to various aspects of dairy management are generated. A reliable management tool AfiFarm software presents a comprehensive, state-of-the-art analysis tool. We’ve embedded our indepth knowledge of dairy farming to make AfiFarm second to none as the reliable tool for managing the daily operations on dairy farms. •Proprietary advanced analysis algorithms •Smart, automatic procedures for assigning cows for treatment, based on performance or schedule •Highly intuitive, user-friendly screens and reports Using AfiFarm software just a few minutes every day, adopting work procedures according to preset criteria, and employing support tools such as AfiSort (cow sorting gate) gives the dairy farm manager everything needed to ensure that the cows and the herd stay in good shape. Better control over the herd maximizes profits. Through our unique analysis of the milk’s electrical conductivity, alongside production performance for each cow, AfiMilk identifies and alerts about mastitis early, before the cow’s health deteriorates to a clinical level. Treating mastitis early minimizes losses; cows recover faster and regain their production potential. •AfiMilk MPC Our efficient, precise milk meter measures milk yield and milk conductivity, which is used by AfiMilk to monitor cow health and milk production. AfiMilk MPC is an ICAR* approved milk meter •AfiTag Placed around the bottom of the animal’s leg, our electronic transponder accurately measures and wirelessly transmits the behavior parameters used in detecting estrus and for monitoring the animal’s welfare (for example, walking activity or resting time). •AfiLab The advanced technology in the AfiMilk system provides online information about the composition of milk (fat, protein, lactose and blood) to assess the value and quality of the milk. Milk composition is also used for detecting a cow’s metabolic problems and other specific health issues. AfiMilk is the system that brings improved performance to every herd and every farm by maximizing operational efficiency and increasing profits.
