METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE QUALITY AND/OR COMPOSITION OF MILK, IN PARTICULAR DURING A MILKING PROCESS

摘要

A method is proposed for ascertaining the quality and/or the composition of milk, in particular during a milking operation, in which the fill level of the milk in a chamber is determined. After the fill level of the milk in the chamber has been determined, the milk is irradiated using at least one radiation of a predefined wavelength. The intensity of the reflected radiation is measured. The fill level and the intensity of the reflected radiation represent a value pair. Characteristic values are stored in a memory. A characteristic value is assigned to the ascertained value pair. A statement about the quality and/or the composition of the milk can be made from the characteristic value thus ascertained.

1. A method for ascertaining the quality and/or the composition of milk, in particular during a milking operation, comprising the steps of:
determining a fill level of the milk in a chamber; irradiating the milk using at least one radiation of a predefined wavelength; measuring an intensity of the reflected radiation; and ascertaining a characteristic value associated with the value pair fill level and intensity of the reflected radiation from stored characteristic values.
