Since the first cow was domesticated, dairy farmers have continually invested in better ways to milk cows and deliver the highest-quality products possible to consumers. High-tech milking equipment, infrared milk meters, automatic detachers, electronic identification and animal monitoring technology all work together to benefit cow, equipment and people performance.

The emphasis on animal well-being from industry, regulatory and consumer perspectives only continues to increase. Therefore, the ability to consistently and constantly monitor cow health in real time is gaining in importance because it is a meaningful way to ensure the quality of animal care.
