WMB AG LactoCorder Portable Milk Analyzer

By WMB AG

Last reviewed: December 2025

ICAR-approved portable milk meter providing real-time milk flow analysis, component testing, and quarter-level monitoring during milking.

The LactoCorder from WMB AG is a portable milk meter that captures comprehensive data during milking, including total yield, milk flow curves, component analysis (fat, protein, lactose), conductivity, and timing parameters. It is the global standard for DHIA milk testing and research applications.

Unlike inline meters that only capture total yield, the LactoCorder records the entire milk flow curve, revealing valuable information about teat end condition, unit alignment, and machine settings. The data helps identify both equipment and cow issues affecting milk harvest efficiency.

The device is ICAR-approved for official milk recording and is used by milk recording organizations, equipment manufacturers, researchers, and consultants worldwide.
