Evaluation of an experimental milking pulsation system for effects on milking and udder health.
This study was to test whether cows milked by an experimental pulsation method differed from cows milked with conventional pulsation milking in somatic cell count (SCC), intramammary infections (IMI) defined by milk bacteriological culture results, teat end condition, or milk flow rate. The study design was a 1-yr trial with a completely randomized block crossover. Holstein cows were blocked in...
متن کاملUdder Morphology and Machine Milking Ability in Dairy Sheep
This paper describes the particularities of the anatomy and morphology of the dairy sheep udder and the current implications on machine milkability. The sheep mammary gland is an exocrine epithelial gland mainly constituted of tubulo-alveolar parenchyma with alveoli and well differentiated cisterns. Two anatomical compartments are used for milk storage: alveolar and cisternal, the large-cistern...
متن کاملMilking: How Much Milk Can Remain in the Udder?
Opinions are divided about the degree to which an udder should be empty after milking. While many farmers, based on their experience, try to empty the udder as completely as possible, their colleagues as well as some representatives of the milking industry and some milking consultants have a more relaxed attitude. They argue that it is completely normal that milk remains in the udder after milk...
متن کاملSizing Vacuum Pumps for Cleaning Milking Systems
Early pipeline milking systems were commonly flooded during cleaning. Flood cleaning is practical for systems with small diameter milklines, short pipelines and few milking units. Flood cleaning becomes impractical as milkline diameter and length and the number of milking units is increased. Excessive water volume is required and the flow velocities and corresponding mechanical cleaning action ...
متن کاملMilking-time Test – Methodology and Assessment of Vacuum Recordings during Machine Milking of Dairy Cows
The aim of the study was to improve the basic understanding and the methodology of routine milking-time testing by determining the required sampling frequency and number of cows and milkings needed to be measured in order to yield representative results. Milking-time tests represent the most direct method to validate the system vacuum of a milking machine, both the aptitude of vacuum production...
