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 Improved Milk Quality • Plastic buckets used for hand milking are a good environment for bacteria growth Mobile Bucket Milking System Line Bucket Milking System Line Milking System Ezi Milker System Double - Up Milking System Rotary Milking System Milking Machine Parts Liner • Must be changed every 2500 cow milkings or 6 months (whichever comes first) Milking Machine Parts Milk Tubes • Must be changed every year • If they split earlier than 1 year change immediately Milking Machine Parts Air Tubes • Must be changed every 2 years or if any split before then change immediately Milking Machine Parts Pulsator • Should be tested and serviced every year Milking Machine Parts Vacuum Pump • Should be tested and serviced every year (if required) Milking Machine Parts Regulator • Check Vacuum Gauge Daily and adjust if required Milk Hygiene • Milking Equipment must be cleaned after every milking session. • Correct detergents must be used to remove all residues Milk Hygiene • Acid Chemicals remove organic material (minerals) • Alkaline chemicals remove fats and protein Milk Hygiene • Bad examples Milk Hygiene • Rinse with 10 litres cold water per unit • Wash with 5 litres hot water + detergent per unit (85℃) • Final Rinse 5 litres hot water per unit (85℃) 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 Training & Support • Milking Machines will only perform well if staff are trained correctly • Khuyen Nong and Daviesway provide training and on-going support with every machine Total Solutions • Khuyen Nong and Daviesway provide a total plan for the farm from development through to milking. • Thank you
