  The development of machine milking in the late 1800’s enabled milk production to expand worldwide with a reduced work force leading to improved economies of scale and profitability. Regardless of how much the technology has become refined and, as an industry, we better understand the inter-relationship between cow, operator and machine, there remains room for continued improvement.

  The Canadian dairy industry is spread over a vast area stretching over 5000 km from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast. In this vast territory, 12,000 dairy farmers milk one million cows that produced 76.7 million hectoliters of milk in 2010. The dairy industry ranks third in the Canadian agriculture sector, after the grain and red meat industries, and generates 13.7 billion dollars (CAN) in sales.
