METATRON PROVIDES A MANAGEMENT LINK
Westfalia’s Metatron gives you the edge in effective,
economical herd management. This DHIA and
USDA approved cowside milk meter provides milk
metering on an individual cow milking for in-parlor
evaluation. Vital information of milk produced,
maximum milk flow, average milk flow and milking
time is also available at cowside. Aids you to better
manage each individual cow.
AUTOMATIC CLUSTER REMOVAL
Automatic cluster removal is another built-in feature
of Westfalia’s Metatron. Dependable and durable,
the Metatron performs with accuracy and precision
when removing the cluster from the cow’s udder.
The Metatron Milk Meter is transparent for visible
operation and designed to take years of use. The
unrestricted, full 1” milk outlet takes into account
all air flow and milk flow requirements for high
producing dairy cows of today and tomorrow. It's
convenient, too, and can be on line mounted, or
remotely mounted out of the operator’s way.
