Milk Diagnostics develops inline measurement systems for modern dairy operations. Our platform transforms routine milking events into continuous operational visibility across herd health, reproductive monitoring, milk components, and processor quality metrics.
Every milking event contains information about cow health, nutrition, reproductive status, and milk quality. Historically, most of that information has remained inaccessible because testing is intermittent, manual, or delayed.
A monthly lab test captures a snapshot. A bulk tank result gives a herd average. Neither provides the individual-cow, milking-by-milking resolution needed to support the decisions dairy operations actually make every day.
Milk Diagnostics was created to make continuous inline measurement operationally practical — to close the gap between what milk contains and what dairy operations can currently see.
Core milk quality indicators tracked at milking frequency against individual cow baselines — not monthly herd averages.
Udder health concerns surface as a trend before clinical signs appear, enabling targeted, earlier intervention.
Reproductive cycle insight derived inline at milking frequency — surfacing relevant signals automatically.
A continuous signal of nutritional efficiency. Enables nutritionists to adjust rations based on real-time metabolic feedback.
All values derived from a single inline measurement platform — captured continuously at milking frequency.
Each capability builds on the same underlying measurement event — the same inline sensing, the same milking routine, the same infrastructure. No additional steps required.
Continuous measurement integrated directly into milking workflows. Multiple indicators captured from Merlin's inline measurement at every milking event, attributed to the individual cow.
Structured historical records across milkings, lactation stages, and herd trends. Individual baselines that make deviations legible — not against population averages, but against each cow’s own history.
Actionable monitoring for producers, processors, veterinarians, and research teams. The same underlying data, surfaced differently depending on the decision that needs to be made.
Milk Diagnostics is currently working with a focused group of producers, processors, veterinarians, and research partners ahead of broader commercial launch.
This stage allows us to validate measurement performance across real dairy environments, refine platform architecture based on operational feedback, and build the early relationships that will shape how the technology is adopted at scale.
We are deliberate about who we work with at this stage. Every partnership informs the platform.
Get in touchWe are not building a sensor product. We are building measurement infrastructure — the kind that dairy operations can depend on at commercial throughput, in commercial environments, without adding steps or changing workflows.
Deploying inline measurement at commercial throughput requires rigorous validation across diverse dairy environments, temperatures, and flow conditions. That is where our technical effort is concentrated.
The platform integrates into the existing milking workflow. No diversion. No sample handling. No change to parlor routine. Data is generated automatically at every milking event, for every cow, without adding labour requirements to the operation.
Individual cow records at milking frequency accumulate into longitudinal datasets that become more useful with every reading. The platform is designed for this — not for one-time diagnostics, but for continuous operational visibility that improves as history builds.
Early-stage deployment is intentionally focused. We work closely with a small group of producers, processors, and research partners to validate measurement performance in real environments before pursuing commercial scale.
