About

Afimilk provides integrated dairy farm automation and herd management systems that leverage real-time data to optimize milk production, animal health, and operational efficiency. Its platform combines smart sensors, such as AfiCollar and AfiAct II, with inline milk analyzers like AfiLab and ICAR-approved milk meters, to monitor individual cow behavior, fertility, and milk composition. The AfiFarm software suite consolidates this data into actionable insights, enabling early detection of health issues like mastitis and ketosis, improving breeding decisions, and streamlining workflows through automated sorting and mobile task management. Afimilk’s solutions are scalable across herd sizes and adaptable to various milking systems, including rotary, parallel, and robotic parlors.
