Milking Liner Life Calculator
About this calculatorWhy liners need replacing
Milking liners have a limited lifespan and should be replaced based on use — not just time.
- Rubber Liners: Up To 2,000 Milkings
- Silicone Liners: Up To 10,000 Milkings
- Every 6 Months, whichever comes first
This tool calculates how many days your liners will last for based on your farm's information, so you know exactly when to plan a replacement.

How is this calculated?
Days your liners last on your farm:
Days = (Recommended Lifespan × Milking Units) / (Cows × Daily Milkings)
The "Take Action On" date is 10 days before the end, giving you time to order and install new liners.

Pre-Milking Container
Post-Milking Container
How is this calculated?
Days your container of disinfectant will last:
Days = (Container Size (L) × 1000) / (ml per Cow per Milking × Cows × Daily Milkings)
Spray uses 15 ml/cow/milking, dip uses 10 ml/cow/milking. If a single product is used both pre- and post-milking, usage doubles for the days pre-milking disinfection is applied. For separate pre and post products, each container is calculated independently.
