Detection and Prevention of Milking Routine Problems by Computerized Monitoring of Milking Irregularities

Published: November 24, 2014
Summary
Electronic computer monitoring of herd and individual cow performance is common in Israeli dairy herds, and allows characterization and quantification of milking efficiency as well as parlor throughput. Eicker et al. (2000) theorized that computerized parlor data could be used to monitor how milkers used the equipment in the parlor. The advantage of ACR compared with manual removal is well known....

A good pre-milking teat preparation, a short, consistent interval until attachment, and calm cows are prerequisites for detachment at high flow rates.
Overmilking is defined as when the flow of milk from the alveoli to the teat cistern is less than the flow of milk from the teat.
The distribution of milk in vast majority of cows is 55% in the back quaters and 45% in the front. Today we have cluster milked cows with take off settings of 1.2Kg with no detrimental effect.
I have mlking robots set at 400 ml' with no problems.
