Once the milking unit is attached, all milking will be automatic. The cow's milk production, butterfat content, somatic cell count and protein/solids content will be recorded by quarters in a central memory bank and displayed in both the parlor area and the control room. A computer will analyze the data and adjust feed rations according to increases or decreases in milk production. Also, the computer will flag any mastitis problems so that prompt treatment can be provided.
When milk flow drops below a preset level, vacuum to the milker unit will be shut off, the machine will be gently detached and retracted away from the cow. Next, a backflushing system will automatically be activated to rinse and sanitize the unit before it is used on the next cow.
Meanwhile, milk will go to a milk processing facility where it will be homogenized, pasteurized, and either put into containers for direct sale or stored in bulk for subsequent pick up and use in further processing.
Visionary? No, because the future of dairy farming grows out of engineering developments being researched and tested today. Some of these developments are already in use on today's
