Milanesi chooses Milkline milking systems for productivity, quality and animal welfare

The company

Società Agricola Milanesi, based in Spino d’Adda (CR), is a historic farm in the Po Valley. Founded in 1937, it is today managed by the Milanesi family and counts over 260 dairy cows, 200 of which are in lactation, raised across approximately 100 hectares. The milk produced is destined for the transformation into Grana Padano DOP, a symbol of excellence of the region.
In recent years, the farm has embarked on a path of innovation, adopting state-of-the-art milking systems and digital tools for herd management. The goal: to improve productivity, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure maximum animal welfare. Before Milkline’s intervention, Milanesi faced several challenges in terms of both yield and production quality, with extraordinary maintenance interventions becoming a daily necessity.

Objectives of Milkline’s intervention in the Milanesi milking system

The Milanesi family identified several strategic priorities:

  • increase the barn’s output without expanding the structures
  • achieve complete herd control through precision livestock software and animal health sensors
  • reduce extraordinary maintenance interventions in the barn
  • improve milk production quality
  • limit cases of mastitis and related veterinary costs

Milkline solutions for the milking parlour and digital herd management

To meet these requirements, Milkline developed a tailored project, combining advanced technology and optimisation of the available space.

Parallel 14+14 milking parlour

A parallel 14+14 milking parlour was installed, a flexible solution classified among the best conventional milking systems.

Milpro P4C quarter milking system

The Milpro P4C was integrated, an innovative quarter milking system that reduces over-milking and mastitis, ensuring both milk quality and animal welfare.

Results achieved with Milkline’s advanced livestock solutions

The adoption of the new milking systems for cattle has delivered tangible benefits to Milanesi, both in terms of productivity and management:

  • increased farm profitability
  • significant reduction in mastitis cases, with consequent lower veterinary costs
  • improved milk quality and higher animal welfare
  • optimisation of fertility thanks to digital herd monitoring
  • real-time milk production control, with data always up-to-date and easily accessible

Milkline offered us a project that combined technology, efficiency and economic sustainability. Today we have complete control over the milking process and the herd: we monitor production, fertility and animal health with extreme precision. We are very satisfied with the choice we made.”
