LACTOSCAN
Production economy

Standardizing the milk and optimizing production through fat and/or protein savings, and improving profitability, depends on the available analytical methods.
Analysis frequency and accuracy determine how close the production may be driven to target.
With milk analyser Lactoscan, which is rapid, accurate and operator-independent, it is possible to narrow the variation between production batches and reduce the target level for e.g. fat in the milk. This will improve production economy, and payback is fast.
