Utilization of Lacto-Corder device in Croatia in everyday control of productivity of lactating cows would be justified. If following Bavarian example, milk control costs would be lowered, which would positively affect financial benefit of milk producers. As the biggest potential users of this device there are Croatian Animal Centre, agricultural advisory service and scientific institutions. Lacto-Corder would provide accurate information on productivity, milking and health traits of each animal. Due to relatively high price of the equipment, it is suggested that only several devices are bought in the beginning and used in assessing fathers and mothers of bulls. Wider application should be enabled over the years to come, which would depend on financial means. Although investments in purchasing Lacto-Corder are high, it would become profitable in a short time as it is useful in providing much information. The Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Osjek carries out research into Lacto-Corder utilization with the aim to study milking traits and their correlation with health udders of cows.
