Milk Quality Widget Details

This widget is added to your Dairy Dashboard automatically after the integration is activated.

The Milk Quality widget includes milk delivery data for your dairy, including: 

  • Amount of milk delivered
  • Milk composition details, including fat and protein percentages

View the example below for more information on the data shown in the Milk Quality widget.

  1. Averages: The top row includes average values for all deliveries made over the last 14 days.
  2. Date: Delivery date. If more than one delivery was made on the date, click to expand the date and view all deliveries.
  3. Amount: Total amount of milk in the delivery (in lbs).
  4. Somatic Cell Count (SCCClosed Somatic cell count): The amount of somatic cells in the milk (in cells/ml x 1000). SCC is an indicator of milk quality, as most somatic cells found in milk are white blood cells, which are produced as an immune response to an infection. Generally, lower SCC values point to better animal health and milk quality.
  5. Fat:  Milkfat percentage.
  6. Protein: Protein percentage.
  7. Milk urea nitrogen (MUNClosed Milk Urea Nitrogen):  The amount of MUN in the milk (in mg/dl). Milk urea nitrogen values are used to monitor the way an animal utilizes nutrients from the diet. Urea is produced in the liver from ammonia derived from the breakdown of protein in the rumen and from normal daily metabolism. If bacteria in the rumen cannot capture the ammonia and convert it to protein, the excess ammonia is absorbed and converted to urea to prevent toxicity. This urea is excreted in urine, manure, and milk, and can be quantified in the testday milk samples.
  8. Solids Nonfat: Percentage of nonfat solids, including lactose, caseins, whey proteins, and minerals.
  9. Other Solids: Percentage of other solids (not including fat and nonfat solids).
  10. Temperature: Temperature of the milk, as measured by the dairy's bulk tank (°F).
  11. Tank Number: The dairy's bulk tank from which the milk was received.
  12. Export: Click the green download button on the top right of the widget to export your data to CSV. This allows you to complete further analysis outside of PULSE or to share data with another insights application. The file is saved to your downloads folder with a file name that includes herdcode, data type, and date range.
  13. Updated: Timestamp (date and time) widget data was refreshed. Widget data is updated in PULSE on a daily basis.
