How Labby Supports Small Dairy Farms

Labby’s solutions are designed to meet the unique needs of small dairy farms with fewer than 100 herds, focusing on reducing labor demands, increasing operational efficiency, and keeping maintenance costs low. Our Inline SCC Analyzer provides real-time somatic cell count (SCC) monitoring during every milking session. This enables early detection of mastitis and other health issues, helping farmers reduce treatment costs and maintain healthier herds. By addressing mastitis proactively, small farms can improve milk quality and protect their profitability.

The Milk Meter enhances productivity by offering instant milk yield data for every milking session. Its contact-free design ensures milk hygiene by eliminating contamination risks, while providing accurate data to help farmers monitor herd performance and identify opportunities for improvement. Additionally, Labby’s analyzers are reagent-free and self-cleaning, significantly cutting labor demands and reducing ongoing maintenance expenses—a crucial advantage for small farms with limited resources.

Complementing these hardware solutions is Labby’s MilKey platform, a user-friendly milk data analysis tool that can be accessed via mobile or desktop. MilKey generates actionable insights such as mastitis risk scores and feed efficiency metrics, empowering farmers to make data-driven decisions to optimize operations. With Labby’s integrated approach, small dairy farms can streamline their processes, enhance herd health, and achieve sustainable growth.
