[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 8126763, member: 63856"] Invaluable is the word I'd use. I used them on an Organic dairy about 12 years ago, for a bit of context I often milked with a relief milker and we had 5 or 6 cellsense thingys in a 30 aside, we milked about 18 rows. It just meant picking up on cows before they became a problem, I mean even with experience you miss the signs,, without experience you miss a lot of signs, don't milk them out properly etc We only had one cow with mastitis that needed antibiotic / removal from herd which is pretty damn good for 540-odd cows, and the second lowest BMSCC for Southland. Way different procedure than your normal "just treat it with antibiotics and draft her out" type of operation, I mean this whole farm system completely blew my previous limitations and preconceptions to bits. The sensors played a really big part in it because at least you knew a cow would be getting checked every 4th or 5th milking, which is way better IMO than waiting until there are clots on the sock and subclinical mastitis through the herd and then "go firefighting" [/QUOTE]
