Why is a careful routine important in breeding?
Inside a dairy farm different ones are used daily mechanical tools for the zootechnics and the care of raised cattle , among these the milking machine It is certainly the most important machine. And also the one that requires the most attention. Why? By coming into direct contact with the cow's udder to collect the fresh milk , even several times during the same day and for 365 days a year, the milking machine is at high risk of spreading bacteria and, therefore, of viruses or infections, such as the mastitis . Not only that, if not subjected to periodic maintenance , the milking machine may not work properly and risk slow down production or, worse, damage the blood vessels at the end of the nipple , causing hyperkeratosis and reducing the milk quality . For this reason, a proper routine is important within the farm: to always keep the milking system clean, while checking that it is working correctly.
The main rules for a good milking routine
But what do we mean when we talk about routine in milking? What actions must be implemented and which components of the machinery require periodic checks? Below are some fundamental checks to be carried out with a strict routine, in particular on rubber products , to ensure the correct functioning of the milking parlor :
-
Gaskets : these Sealing devices , placed in compression to fill the space between two surfaces, are very important to ensure that the milk continues to flow smoothly, without unwanted leaks. However, prolonged use could lead to the onset of problems, such as breakages. Only the routine maintenance and the possible replacement of the gaskets can guarantee perfect milking;
-
Liners : useful tools to facilitate milking, liners need to be manufactured with the highest quality materials. Not only to avoid transferring the milk substances harmful to humans , but also to guarantee a product that does not stress the udders of the cows throughout the milking process. Since it has to last for many cycles, it is a good idea to periodically check its condition;
- Milk tubes : connecting the milking liner, applied to the animal's nipple, to the collector , which collects the milk, the milk tubes have a fundamental role in the Liquid transport and in the vacuum regulation . They may be subject to chemical alterations , due to contact with the milk fat and with the detergents for washing . For this reason they must be monitored and replaced immediately if signs of wear appear.
