The Delmer Visual Milk Meter is a proven and dependable solution for accurate milk yield measurement in dairy cows. Engineered for performance and consistency, this milk meter integrates seamlessly into the milking line, enabling farmers to monitor individual cow production without disrupting milk flow or milking routines.

Widely recognized across global dairy markets, the Delmer Visual Milk Meter complies with ICAR and DHIA milk recording standards, making it an ideal choice for professional dairy farms and herd testing programs.

Reliable Milk Yield Measurement, Every Milking

The Delmer Visual Milk Meter captures a precise proportion of milk during milking and collects it in a calibrated measuring flask. This allows farmers to determine total milk yield quickly or extract a representative sample for quality and component testing. The system delivers consistent accuracy, helping farmers make data-driven herd management decisions.

Available in 30 kg and 42 kg capacity variants, the tapered flask design ensures better readability, even at lower milk volumes.

Key Advantages

• Internationally approved milk meter (ICAR compliant)
• High-accuracy cow milk measurement
• Two measuring flask capacities: 30 kg & 42 kg
• Easy milk sampling for fat and component analysis
• Smooth milk flow with minimal resistance
• No narrow passages that cause blockages
• Manufactured from food-grade, hygienic materials
• Supports both fixed and removable mounting
• Consistent sampling ratio for reliable results

Smarter Herd Management Starts with Accurate Data

Using the Visual Milk Meter regularly allows dairy farmers to:

• Identify top-performing cows for breeding
• Detect low-yield or stressed animals early
• Optimize feed planning based on actual production
• Improve overall herd productivity and profitability
• Maintain reliable milk recording records

It is a valuable tool for commercial dairy farms, research institutions, and milk testing authorities.

Flexible Installation for All Milking Systems

Designed to suit a wide range of dairy setups, the milk meter can be installed in:

• Herringbone parlours
• Rotary and parallel milking systems
• Dairies using Automatic Cluster Removers (ACR)

Multiple mounting options allow the unit to be fixed on flat surfaces or pipes while maintaining the correct horizontal alignment for accurate readings.

Simple Operation & Convenient Sampling

• Milk yield is clearly visible on the measuring flask
• Milk samples can be collected directly using the integrated three-way tap
• Open and closed flask options support both on-site testing and laboratory analysis
• A built-in ball valve prevents excess air intake during flask removal

Easy Cleaning & Low Maintenance Design

The Delmer Visual Milk Meter supports Clean-In-Place (CIP) washing and can also be manually cleaned when required. Its robust construction minimizes wear and ensures a long service life with minimal upkeep.

Routine inspection and periodic testing help maintain long-term measurement accuracy.

Best Suited For

• Dairy farms of all sizes
• Herd recording and milk testing programs
• Dairy research and breeding operations
• Professional dairy consultants

Early mastitis detection is critical for maintaining udder health and ensuring clinical cases are treated effectively. Prompt action helps dairy farmers protect milk quality, reduce herd infections, and improve overall productivity.

What is Clinical Mastitis?

Clinical mastitis is an inflammation of the udder that causes visible changes in the milk. Common signs include:

• Milk clots
• Watery or abnormal color
• Visible flakes or changes in consistency

👉 If clots appear only in the first 2–3 squirts and then the milk clears, it is not clinical mastitis but a local teat reaction. In such cases, additional mastitis tests (e.g., California Mastitis Test – CMT) are not required.

If the milk appears normal, the cow does not have clinical mastitis.

Benefits of Early Mastitis Detection

Detecting mastitis quickly and starting treatment early offers multiple advantages:

• Faster response to therapy
• Reduced risk of cross-infection between cows
• Prevention of mastitis milk contaminating the bulk tank
• Protection of bulk tank cell count and Bactoscan results
• Fewer repeat mastitis cases, lowering treatment costs
• Quicker reduction in somatic cell count
• Faster recovery and return to milk production

Challenges in Mastitis Detection

Not all dairy farms strip cows before milking. In many herds, the milking unit is applied without foremilking or thorough teat preparation. This delay in mastitis detection can allow infections to spread. Some farmers only strip high-risk groups, such as high-yielding cows, leaving others unchecked.

Advantages of In-Line Mastitis Detectors

Modern in-line mastitis detectors offer reliable, real-time monitoring with several benefits:

• Detect milk clots early
• Trap dirt, straw, or foreign particles, improving teat hygiene practices
• Large detectors make clots easy to see for milkers
• High-volume detectors (e.g., Ambic Vision) ensure accurate detection without disrupting vacuum stability or milk flow, provided they are kept clean

Free Flow technology records each cow's individual data in the milking parlor, including milk flow rate, quantity, temperature and electrical conductivity. The data is then transferred to the milking management program, enabling the farmer to make vital decisions on the cow’s health and productivity.
