Waikato Milking Systems: milking with a system
The company is based in Hamilton in the Waikato region, right in the heart of New Zealand's dairy country. In the late 1970s the group began developing and manufacturing components for milking equipment. Today it builds rotary and herringbone parlours, herd management systems and milk cooling for cows, sheep and goats. When it comes to rotary parlours, Waikato is one of the largest manufacturers. Since May 2023 the group has been wholly owned by the Italian Interpump Group.
Waikato Milking Systems at Agrarzone
We stock the Waikato milk meter for 30 kg. It is fitted into the milk tube during milking and shows you how much milk each individual cow gives. That way you notice early when an animal's yield drops, and you have a reliable basis for feeding and breeding decisions. For farms that do their own recording or take part in official milk recording, the meter is a practical tool.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need a milk meter for?
It measures the amount of milk per cow and per milking. At the same time you can take a sample that is representative of the whole milking, for example for laboratory testing.
How do I clean the milk meter?
Rinse it thoroughly after every use, just like the rest of the milking system. Otherwise residues in the measuring jar distort the result and affect milk hygiene.
