Inline Analyzer for a Milking Machine

A milking machine system comprising:

• one or more inline analyzers between a teat of an animal and a reservoir;
• each inline analyzer comprising:
• an outer body having a central axis, a fluid input channel aligned with a central axis, an upper cover attached to the fluid input channel, a central portion aligned with the central axis and attached to the upper cover, a lower portion attached to the central portion, and a fluid output channel aligned with the central axis and attached to the lower portion, wherein the fluid input channel, the central portion and the fluid output channel each have a hollow central channel,
• a float portion disposed loosely within the hollow central channel of the central portion such that the float portion is free to move axially along the central axis and the flow of the milk within the outer body passes around the float portion,
• one or more sensors positioned to detect one or more biological conditions of the milk or the animal;
• a battery disposed within float portion,
• one or more processors disposed within the float portion, communicably coupled to the one or more sensors and electrically connected to the battery,
• a memory disposed within the float portion and communicably coupled to the one or more processors, and
• an actuator disposed within the float portion and operably connected to the one or more processors, wherein the actuator causes the float portion to move axially along the central axis of the outer body to regulate the flow of the milk through the outer body in response to one or more signals from the one or more processors;
• and
• the milking machine system analyzes the milk from the teat of the animal, and selectively disrupts the flow of the milk from a one or more of the one or more teats of the animal.
