NMC: The Global Milk Quality Organization’s Oct. 30 webinar, led by and Doug Reinnemann, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Ian Ohnstad, The Dairy Group, features “The new DeLaval standard way of milking in VMS (voluntary milking system).” This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 10 a.m. Central time (Chicago time).
DeLaval has introduced a new standard in milking extraction as part of “how we milk” with a VMS. Flow-Responsive Milking is an advanced milking technology, developed by DeLaval, which dynamically adapts the milking process to the real-time milk flow of each individual cow. With Flow-Responsive Milking technology, the DeLaval VMS is performing faster and gentler, with more complete milkings than ever before.

He has directed the activities of the UW Milking Research and Instruction lab since 1990. His research and extension programs, in collaboration with national and international experts, have focused on the development of machine milking performance testing, milking management and the adoption of automatic milking systems.
