Abstrakt: This study investigated the accuracy of a near-infrared spectroscopic sensing system for predicting milk quality indicators in cow milk. The system determined three major milk quality indicators (milk fat, protein, and lactose), milk urea nitrogen (MUN), and somatic cell count (SCC) of two Holstein cows at the Hokkaido University dairy farm. The results showed excellent accuracy for milk fat and protein contents, while sufficient accuracy was found for lactose, MUN, and SCC. This suggests that the NIR spectroscopic sensing system could be used for online real-time milk quality determination, aiding dairy farmers in effective individual cow management and smart dairy farming.
