The integration of smart milking technologies driven by data is heralding a new era for the dairy sector in Argentina, promising increased productivity and enhanced animal welfare. In a world where the population is expected to surpass 9 billion by 2050, the demand for dairy products is set to rise significantly.

Argentina, with its rich dairy tradition, is positioned to harness advanced technologies to not only boost productivity but also ensure animal health.

 Key benefits of smart milking technology include reducing milking times, enhancing data reliability, reducing animal stress, and improving operator convenience. Recent data indicates that milk production in Argentina in 2024 reached 10.59 billion liters, marking a 6.5% decline from the previous year. To counter this trend, automated and intelligent milking processes are being adopted, aiming for increased production efficiency and improved animal health.

 Smart milking technologies, based on real-time data analysis, facilitate more efficient milk extraction with less stress on cows. These technologies include intelligent stimulation and controlled pulsation systems, optimizing milk flow and preventing stress, crucial for preventing mastitis.

 Gabriel Calderón, a veterinary expert in milk production, emphasizes that traditional milking systems do not ensure proper stimulation and milking of cows, potentially leading to mastitis.

Smart systems, such as Sensehub® Milking, promise precise and efficient milking processes, enhancing productivity and animal welfare. Users of these technologies report a reduction in milking time by 15-20%, yielding positive impacts on energy efficiency, animal welfare, and operator quality of life. In conclusion, automated milking solutions present a strategic opportunity for Argentine dairy producers to improve livestock health, optimize resources, and enhance competitiveness globally, reaffirming the dairy sector as a vital component in achieving high-quality food production for the future.
