MilkHub - Benefits

Benefits The MilkHub system is targeted to make a difference where and when it counts - in the dairy. It is automatic and does not rely on user interaction to be effective. Alerts occur during milking allowing immediate remedial action. MilkHub provides major cow related business benefits:
	Prevents SCC downgrades SCC grades are prevented through the detection and subsequent removal of cows contributing most to the bulk milk cell count.
	Reduces production loss Early detection and treatment of infected cows controls the spread of contagious forms of mastitis and minimises production loss.
	Reduces treatment and culling costs Early detection and treatment of infected cows reduces the number of treatments for new infections and reduces the number of cows culled due to permanent mastitis damage.
	Identifies poor cow performance Identification of cows with low yield guides end of season drying off or culling decisions, and avoids non-productive cows from being carried through the season.

MilkHub also provides significant plant and staff related benefits:
	Ensures efficient plant Optimum milking time is maintained through the detection and subsequent correction of slow milking stalls. Identification and elimination of plant faults reduces the opportunity for the spread of stress related mastitis and the occurrence of hygiene threats.
	Ensures hygienic plant The detection of poor plant cleaning prevents hygiene downgrades. Assurance of effective cleaning at the cluster is also important in preventing the spread of mastitis.
	Supports milking staff The in-dairy display and alerts overcome the problem of milking staff being unable to identify poor performing cows due to time constraints, lack of experience or absence of clinical symptoms. The displays/alerts also provide a quality control tool to ensure correct plant operation.
	Saves management resource Over all, the system provides multiple benefits that ensure significant timesavings in the on-farm management and enhanced quality assurance of the milking process.
	Automates shed functions Drafting and feeding can be automated and controlled both locally and remotely, allowing greater control and flexibility for farm management.
