Abstract
A milk analyser comprising a milk analysis unit having an analysis modality wherein the milk analysis unit further comprises a milk classification system having an imaging device configured to image milk for generation of digital image data; a processor of a computing device which is adapted to execute a program code to implement a deep learning neural network classifier trained using labelled milk images from milk within the classes into which the imaged milk may be classified and operable to generate a classification of the imaged milk; and a controller configured to output a control signal in dependence of the generated classification to control a sample intake to regulate the supply of milk to the analysis unit.
