From the parlor to the processor, Labby's optical analysis platform delivers lab-grade data where and when decisions happen.
Different roles, different metrics, one platform. Labby adapts to what matters most to you.
Whether you're running 50 cows or 5,000+, Labby replaces monthly DHI samples with continuous, cow-level insight. Detect health issues early, optimize feed rations in days instead of weeks, and stop guessing about milk quality.
By the time milk reaches your plant, it's too late to fix composition or quality issues. Labby gives processors and cooperatives real-time visibility into supplier milk — before the tank truck leaves the farm.
Labby turns milk composition into a continuous health signal. Veterinarians and animal health companies can use real-time SCC, fat-to-protein ratios, and lactose trends to identify at-risk animals, guide treatment protocols, and validate outcomes with data — not guesswork.
Monthly test-day records give you snapshots. Labby gives you the full movie. Continuous milk composition data lets genetic companies and breeding programs phenotype production and health traits with unprecedented granularity — across lactations, seasons, and environments.
Feed is the single largest cost in dairy. Labby lets feed companies and nutritionists close the feedback loop between ration changes and milk response. Instead of waiting weeks for DHIA results, see fat and protein shifts within 48 hours of a diet change.
Labby's real-time data drives measurable improvement across the areas that matter most to your operation.
Detect subclinical mastitis 2–5 days before clinical signs appear. Continuous SCC monitoring identifies infected quarters early, enabling targeted treatment, lower antibiotic use, and dramatically reduced culling. The average farm loses $100–200 per cow annually to mastitis — Labby cuts that in half.
Up to 60% reduction in treatment costsKnow within hours — not weeks — if a ration change is working. Real-time fat and protein data lets nutritionists fine-tune diets based on actual milk response, not historical averages. Optimize feed conversion, maximize component premiums, and cut waste from the largest expense on the farm.
48-hour feedback on ration changesMilk fat composition is a validated proxy for enteric methane emissions. Labby enables dairies to monitor methane output at the individual cow level without expensive gas chambers, supporting carbon credit programs and sustainability reporting with auditable, continuous data.
Cow-level emissions monitoringThe dry-off-to-peak-lactation window is where cows are most vulnerable. Labby tracks fat-to-protein ratios, SCC spikes, and lactose dips to flag metabolic stress, ketosis risk, and immune suppression in early lactation — giving you a head start on intervention.
Early detection of metabolic riskMonthly test-day records miss the variation that matters. Labby's continuous phenotyping captures daily milk composition profiles, enabling breeding programs to identify elite genetics earlier, validate sire proofs faster, and select for traits like mastitis resistance with real data.
Daily phenotyping vs. monthly snapshotsLabby's MilKey platform consolidates all milk data — composition, health signals, yield, and cow identity — into a single dashboard with automated ICAR-compliant reporting. Export to your herd management software, LIMS, or ERP. One source of truth, zero manual entry.
ICAR-compliant automated reportingLabby's compact spectrometer technology generates lab-grade, real-time milk composition analysis at the point of milking.
Continuous composition analysis for every cow at every milking. Installs directly on milk lines.
Real-time somatic cell count at the cow level. The earliest warning system for mastitis.
Precision milk yield measurement with integrated sampling for lab or on-farm analysis.
Automatic cow identification links every measurement to the individual animal. No manual entry.
All your milk data — composition, health, yield, and identity — in one platform. MilKey turns raw sensor output into actionable insight, with dashboards, alerts, and export tools built for how dairy people actually work.
Our team will help you design the right setup for your herd, your goals, and your budget.
