ODRC data schema: Milk aggregation

Data schemas describe data that are collected on an ongoing basis from research centres, and provide add-on documentation that enhances the value of raw data. This schema is applicable to all datasets collecting aggregated data from all milking sources (Rotary Parlour, Voluntary Milking System, Tie Stalls, and Maternity).

The schema facilitates the integration of data from Rotary Parlour systems, Voluntary Milking Systems, Tie Stalls, and Maternity areas, and supports the recording and integration of metrics such as milk yield, milking frequency, and milk quality across different milking systems. Only columns in common across all sources are available. Data described in this schema is sample data, to request access to the related data, please visit the Ontario Dairy Research Centre Data Portal.
