The next innovation: The CowManager Milk Sensor

For each quarter of the milking unit, the Milk Sensor measures conductivity, milk production, milk flow, vacuum and milk temperature. These quarter-level insights can support early warnings for issues such as mastitis.

CowManager will take the first steps to introduce the Milk Sensor later in 2026, with wider-scale availability planned for 2027.

Better Insights, Better Dairy Farming

The Milk Sensor is added to each quarter of a milking unit, adding a new layer of visibility – quarter-level milk data that connects to the health and performance signals you’re tracking with CowManager ear sensors.

Better dairy farming starts with knowing which path leads to a healthier herd and a stronger-performing dairy operation. Together, we’re shaping the future of dairying.

With 360° herd management, we help you move beyond monitoring to confident, fact-based decisions. Helping you optimize on-farm results today, while building the dairy operation you want to run tomorrow.

Automated Early Mastitis Warning

Identify quarter-level milk deviations associated with mastitis before clinical signs appear.

Milk Parlor Monitoring

The Milk Sensor helps uncover irregularities in the milking parlor that often remain hidden.

Early Mastitis Warnings

Early awareness of udder health changes is essential to maintaining milk quality and supporting cow health. However, the first signs of mastitis can be difficult to detect especially during milking, when time is limited and efficiency matters. By receiving early mastitis alerts, you know which cows needs extra attention before issues escalate.

This could result in:

  • Early mastitis indication
  • Enable timely intervention
  • Improve cure rates
  • Support the use of antibiotic alternatives
