New Prague, MN (October 15, 2025) – NMC: The Global Milk Quality Organization’s Oct. 30 webinar, led by and Doug Reinnemann, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Ian Ohnstad, The Dairy Group, features “The new DeLaval standard way of milking in VMS (voluntary milking system).” This free, one-hour educational offering starts at 10 a.m. Central time (Chicago time).
DeLaval has introduced a new standard in milking extraction as part of “how we milk” with a VMS. Flow-Responsive Milking is an advanced milking technology, developed by DeLaval, which dynamically adapts the milking process to the real-time milk flow of each individual cow. With Flow-Responsive Milking technology, the DeLaval VMS is performing faster and gentler, with more complete milkings than ever before.
Reinemann joined the UW-Madison department of biological systems engineering faculty in 1990 and holds affiliate appointments in the department of animal and dairy sciences, the Institute for Environmental studies and the agroecology program. He has directed the activities of the UW Milking Research and Instruction lab since 1990. His research and extension programs, in collaboration with national and international experts, have focused on the development of machine milking performance testing, milking management and the adoption of automatic milking systems.
Following a practical grounding in herd management, Ohnstad has worked as a milking technology specialist for 35 years. He leads a team of dairy consultants and offers advice on all aspects of milk harvest and milk quality, working closely with milk producers, milk processors and manufacturers of milk harvesting equipment. Ohnstad delivers consultancy throughout the United Kingdom and in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Egypt and mainland Europe. He chairs the British Mastitis Conference and serves on the NMC board of directors and ISO Machine Milking revision team.
