ABSTRACT:
A milk metering apparatus having a metering chamber7which is repeatedly filled and emptied many times in the course of milking an animal is provided with a probe15which extends down into the metering chamber7and which includes a sampling tube as well as conductivity and light absorption sensors. Milk samples can be taken and conductivity and light absorption measurements can be made during each filling and emptying cycle so that data from the sample analysis and the measurements over the whole period of milking can be compared with corresponding data from previous milkings of the same animal thereby providing valuable information for herd management purposes.
