YOUR SOLUTION FOR AUTOMATED mILKING SYSTEMS

RobotPRO identifies sires that transmit the desired traits for robotic milking systems. These sires are selected by focusing on components and milk yield, udder health, longevity and durability, as well as functional udder traits.

Select Sires is continually reviewing designation criteria to meet the evolving needs of dairy farmers. In August 2024, the formula was updated to include Canadian evaluations for Udder Floor and Milking Temperament. Cows with extreme reverse tilt make it difficult for robot sensors to locate rear teats. We've also heard the concerns from dairy farmers regarding nervous cows. They require more time for the robot to attach the units and more time for re-attachments. Adding consideration for these traits will improve the usefulness of this designation in dairies around the world.
