The BOS Analysis presents MKM

MKM™ – Creamery Adjusted Milk: Value over Volume.

Distilled from more than 35 years of international experience as a cattle vet and nutritionist, José Leguizamón (Dr. Ribs) introduces the German MKM-Analysis. This KPI corrects raw milk volume to reflect your creamery's actual premiums and pricing structures. BOS not only shows you how much milk you produce, but also how much you actually earn. Spot your true profit killers and convert volume into real gross margin.

BOS Milk Price Management

Every cow has her own milk price — dairy-specific and exact to the cent.

A flat herd milk price conceals the economic reality. BOS calculates the exact creamery pay price per kg milk for each individual cow from her fat %, protein %, and SCC.

The BOS individual cow revenue formula:

Individual Dairy Price (ct/kg)×Milked Milk (kg)=True Cow Revenue (€/day)
🏢

Over 11 Dairy Processors Preset

Payment formulas of leading creameries (DMK, Arla, Hochwald, Zott, Bayernland, and more) ready out of the box.

🔬

Cow-Individual Cent Pricing

Cow A with high milk solids receives a completely different price per kg than Cow B. BOS reveals this financial difference.

True Margin Contribution

Dairy-specific cow revenue instead of theoretical volume — driving profitable culling and feeding decisions.

THIS IS WHAT A REAL REPORT LOOKS LIKE

REI: Relative Revenue Index

Expose Cashflow Drainers: Who generates profit, who consumes it?

REI is an internal herd benchmark index. It shows how much daily revenue a cow generated on test day — measured against the typical cow of identical lactation number and stage in this herd. Calculated using your active dairy processor pricing formula: each cow receives her own milk price calculated from individual DHI components — times milk kg yields the true dairy-specific cow revenue. Over 11 dairy formulas are pre-configured.

BOS REI Scatter Plot — Relative Revenue Index per cow benchmarked against herd median

💡

Field Finding from the Herd:

Two cows in the exact same lactation (L3) and milking phase (late lactation) — yet there is an €11.72 daily revenue gap between them.
