In practice, many people underestimate how much the milking routine can affect the quality and production costs per liter of milk, as well as the udder health of the animals. The most important factors are:

• Hand washing
• Forestripping
• Cleaning udder and teats 
• Stimulation 
• Attaching and adjusting the teat cup
• Stripping 
• Removing the teat cup 
• Post-dipping the teats  

Generally cleaning the udder, forestripping and stimulation require the most time. To increase milker productivity and parlour throughput some parts of the routine can be automated. WestfaliaSurge offers products and solutions customised to your routine.
