Milk meter

Measure quantity of milk

Consorzio Pecorino Toscano


A milk flow meter is a device used in dairy farming to measure the volume of milk during milking. It is typically installed in the milking machine system, where it monitors and records the amount of milk extracted from each cow during a milking session. The meter works by detecting the flow of milk through a sensor, which can be based on different technologies such as ultrasonic, electromagnetic, or mechanical systems. This data is then used to assess the milking performance, ensure optimal milking efficiency, and monitor the health and productivity of dairy cows.
