Updatings on
Sub-Committee for Recording Devices (by Uffe
Lauritsen)
(Date: 30-Nov.-2006)
Since the Kuopio meeting,
two new members joined the Sub-committee: Mario Capasso from Italy and
Vladimir Tancin from the Czech Republic.
The Sub-committee plans to take up the issue of
testing and approval of the “second grade
milk-meters” having over 2% error and of the impact
of bigger error on the whole system. The Sub
Committee find the question being related to a
number of related issues during recording, such as
animal ID, correct sampling, logistic of the sample
on farm as well as in the lab. Looking on only the
level of error on meter accuracy could be a too
narrow view. A paper would be prepared in
consultation with Miglior – Pauw groups.
Procedures for testing milk meters for dairy sheep
would be developed in cooperation with Working Group
on sheep recording.
The Sub-committee received complains from farmers
regarding unauthorized and non-tested changes in
some approved milk meters. The Executive Board
supported the view of the Sub-committee that the
text of the approval should include provisions that
any change and upgrading must be communicated to the
Sub-committee which would decide on necessary
actions, including re-testing of devices. A close
look on withdrawal of the approval in case of
non-compliance with ICAR rules should also be
included.
The Sub-committee would also take up the issue of
compatibility of samplers with various meters and
the need to test the compatibility.
