Tru-Test Electronic Milk Meter is a patented, ICAR approved, portable device that will automatically record milk yield, automatically dispense a representative sample, read uniquely identified milk sample vials and communicate wirelessly with the Tru-Test Data Handler. This is a system that is used by dairy herd improvement associations around the world for herd testing dairy cows. The milk sample vials used with the Tru-Test Electronic Milk Meter can be uniquely identified by either barcode labels or by RFID tags. Sample vials do not need to be sequenced in trays. Tru-Test Electronic Milk Meter system can interface to animal RFID systems allowing fast, accurate and seamless linking of data and data integration. Uses a uniquely identified vial so that the milk sample is electronically linked to a cow identification number. Smart software in the EMM checks that there is a new sample vial fitted and the cow number is entered before commencing automatic sampling. Milk yield is recorded on the farm by the EMM. Sample is stirred and then precisely dispensed automatically. Battery operation for ease of use in all parlours and barns. Utilises the well proven Tru-Test proportional milking head. Data Handler uses radio frequency (RF) to communicate with the EMM. Herd information can be preloaded into the Data Handler for on-the-spot checking for errors. Data Handler link allows printouts of yield on the farm, on the day of the test and two way communication with the herd recording database. Data Handler software can be tailored to suit customer's requirements. Can take animal IDs from RFID tags, speeding up the entry of animal IDs and minimising errors. Data Handler can take animal IDs from RFID tags, speeding up the entry of animal IDs and minimising errors. Data Handler has flexibility to be used with other systems, for example Tru-Test mechanical WB Milk Meters. For official Dairy Herd Improvement Association use only.
