BROLIS In-Line Milk Analyzer Receives Positive Validation Report from ICAR

February 2 , 2025

BROLIS and BouMatic, both leading innovators in dairy technology, proudly announce that the BROLIS BHL01 in-line milk analyzer has received a positive validation report from the International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR).

ICAR has confirmed that the BROLIS BHL01 in-line analyzer has successfully completed testing and validation for milk fat and protein measurement. This validation attests that the system delivers data as described by BROLIS Sensor Technology for the reviewed components.

Steven Sievert, Chair of ICAR’s Measuring, Recording, and Sampling Devices Subcommittee and Technical Director at National DHIA (USA), stated: “This ICAR validation is an important first step, setting the stage for potential integration of the sensor with ICAR-tested robotic and traditional milking systems. We look forward to further testing and validation of these integrated systems, ultimately ensuring quality data for dairy producers, milk recording organizations, and industry users.”

This achievement confirms that the BROLIS in-line Milk analyzer meets the high accuracy standards set by ICAR, making it the first milk analyzer to receive such validation.

The BROLIS sensor functions like a miniature laboratory, measuring milk composition for each cow in real time. Using an ultra-precise laser sensor, it continuously analyzes fat, protein, and lactose as milk flows through the system. Fully automated and reagent-free, the system eliminates the need for manually taken milk samples, saving dairy farmers valuable time and costs while providing greater control over herd management.

The analyzer will soon be available for integration into BouMatic milking systems and Gemini UP milking robots.

“We are thrilled to receive this positive validation from ICAR,” said Dominykas Vizbaras, CEO of BROLIS. “The rigorous ICAR testing process underscores the reliability and precision of our in-line milk analyzer. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in dairy technology.”

Steve Pretz, President of BouMatic, added: “The BROLIS in-line milk analyzer is a game-changer for the dairy industry. Accurate data is essential for informed decision-making, efficiency, and sustainability. By integrating this cutting-edge analyzer into our milking systems, we are empowering dairy producers with superior tools to maintain the highest quality standards. The ICAR validation reaffirms our dedication to supporting dairy farms worldwide.”
