ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of specific substances, such as contaminates, in milk from individual animals obtained at consecutive milkings. With the aid of a color sensor measuring system, the intensity of frequency bands of selected colors (red, yellow and blue) are determined and stored as data for each animal being milked in a computer for each milking. In the course of each milking of each animal, the animal's intensity values are compared both mutually and with corresponding intensity values recorded during one or more previous milkings. The results of the comparison are displayed on a computer monitor and/or in a printed record. The milk line system includes a diversion valve disclosed between the receptacle receiving milk from the teat cups and a bulk milk tank for diverting contaminated milk as sensed by the color sensor measuring system and detected by comparisons in the computer before that milk is conveyed to the bulk milk tank.
