Dairy is a complex business with no system integration between crop and animal performance. Dairy farmers often use five to seven different, non-connected software solutions.
MSC connects those software solutions for you to provide a holistic view of your farm’s sustainability.
Holistic and detailed farm view
Aggregates and visualizes data from field and barn, allows a holistic farm overview and enables independent insights.
Automated upload of farm land & dairy data
Broad range of data from farm software is automatically and centrally stored.
Combining farm land & dairy data in one tool
MSC automates data flows for most popular field and milking equipment to minimize manual data collection and entry.
Empowering farmers across the globe
MSC is available in 11 languages, with dedicated support in the listed countries. We are on a mission to connect with as many farming software systems as possible. No matter what tools you use, MSC is here to support your journey toward a more sustainable future.

Let MSC do the sustainability thinking for you
We offer actionable sustainability insights to help you become more efficient and sustainable.
How Milk Sustainability Center will help you make your dairy farm operation more sustainable
Monitor your NUE and CO2e
MSC calculates your Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) and CO2e based on your daily farm operations. This in turn helps you make sustainable and profit-driven decisions. Learn more about NUE and CO2e
Easily identify improvement areas
MSC provides data to allow dairy farmers to compare their performance to other dairy operations, thus being able to identify key areas of improving their sustainability score.
See benchmark values and get actionable insights
By analyzing benchmark data and sustainable farming best practices, MSC is able to give recommendations on how to reduce nutrient losses to the air and groundwater leading to higher NUE and a lower CO2e.
See your farms sustainability potential
Assess different scenarios through simulation and review what the impact would be on nutrient use efficiency, carbon footprint or profitability, when implementing a certain technology or changing a certain strategy.
Fast and flexible
MSC helps you track your farm’s sustainability by analyzing data from five key areas: Herd, Milk, Ration, Field, and Purchases and sales. This data can come from your farm software, or by entering it manually, or a mix of both. The more data you provide, the deeper your insights.
You don’t need farm software to use MSC, but by connecting your software, you’ll reduce setup time and monthly effort.
Start with what you have available and expand your data sources over time.
We help dairy farmers make sustainability improvements through reduced CO2e and increased NUE.
Why are NUE and CO2e important measures for your sustainability?
Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE)
The NUE indicates the ratio of input and output of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium.
Using your nutrients more efficiently will decrease your environmental footprint and increase your profitability: Doing more with less
CO2 equivalent (CO2e)
CO2e is a scientific terminology and a way to normalize various greenhouse gases to make nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) comparable.
Find the contributing factors to your footprint and choose a strategy for lowering your it.
