BENEFITS OF USING A
MILKING MACHINE
More Natural
• Milking machines use vacuum to “suck”
the milk from the cow, the same as a
calf.
=
Faster Milking
• Cows like consistency
• Regular milking routine and consistent
performance of milking equipment
means cows milk much quicker and
easier
Faster Milking
• Cows from Australia, New Zealand,
Europe and North America etc. are
bred to be machine milked
Better milk “Let Down”
• Oxytocin is released as cow enters the
machine it is ready to be milked
• The Milking Machine removes milk
gently and quickly
Reduces Animal Stress
• Consistent milking time routine reduces
stress
• Exercise for cow walking to machine
Less milking Labour
• Less workers needed to milk cows
Less milking Labour
• Workers not operating milking machine
can spend more time cleaning and
maintaining the cow stall area and
environment
Prevents Mastitis
• Hand milking can cause cross
contamination of mastitis from dirty
hands
Improved Milk Quality
• Milk is not exposed to air from teat to
milk collection vessel
Improved Milk Quality
• A correctly cleaned and maintained
machine has a bacteria free
environment

The table below shows rates of growth of
bacteria for good quality milk that has been
stored for 24 hours at different temperatures
• It can be seen from this table that bacteria
numbers rise dramatically once milk temperatures
exceeds 4°C.
• The graph below shows the rate of growth of
bacteria in time and temperature
