The Problem Farmers Face

Running a dairy shed is tough enough without unseen problems stealing your profits.

Worn liners and poor vacuum settings that damage teats and increase mastitis.
High Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) that compromise milk quality and income.
Inefficient staff workflows adding unnecessary labour and stress.
Machines that aren’t tuned correctly, creating downtime and hidden losses.

What We do

Milking Machine Testing & Shed Consultancy

We test your milking machine and shed, not your milk. Every visit looks at the whole system, the machine, the cow, and the person, because that's where the real answers are.  

Most milk quality and cow comfort issues start in the shed, not the herd. We find the fault, explain what's causing it, and give you a clear plan before any product ever comes into it.

Milking Machine Testing

What is included in a milking machine test?

Pulsation test, NZMPTA full normal standard test and then specific recommendations from the Milk R Us test.

What is the difference between dry testing and wet testing?

Dry testing is performed with no cows in the shed. Wet testing is performed during milking with special test equipment, checking that the vacuum and ACR (pulsation) are performing correctly.

Can you test my milking machine while I’m milking / during the season?

Yes, we can test your milking machine while you're milking and during the season.

Do you do more than milking machine testing?

Yes, we do more than milking machine testing. We do full pulsator servicing for all different brands and sell equipment too.

Can my milking machine contribute to high somatic cell counts?

Yes, a milking machine can contribute to high somatic cell counts if the vacuum or ACR is set up wrong, as this could be doing the wrong things.

What is the difference between vented liners and non-vented (normal) liners?

Vented liners let the milk flow faster through the milk lines with less contamination. Non-vented liners have no vent, but our milking machine tester sets them up properly.

Do I have to purchase your liners or other products if I use you for a milking machine test?

No, you don't have to purchase our liners or other products if you use us for a milking machine test, though we'll make recommendations based on what's best for your setup.

What types of liners and rubberware do you supply, and how do I know what is right for my cows?

Our milking machine specialist will come out and help you choose the right liners and rubberware for your cows.
