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
• Oxytocin is released as cow enters the machine it is ready to be milked
• The Milking Machine removes milk gently and quickly
Better milk “Let Down”
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

Ezi Milker System
Double - Up Milking System
Rotary Milking System
Milking Machine Parts
• Must be changed every 2500 cow milkings or 6 months (whichever comes first)
Liner
Milking Machine Parts
• Must be changed every year• If they split earlier than 1 year change
immediately
Milk Tubes
Milking Machine Parts
• Must be changed every 2 years or if any split before then change immediately
Air Tubes
Milking Machine Parts
• Should be tested and serviced every yearPulsator
Milking Machine Parts
• Should be tested and serviced every year (if required)
Vacuum Pump
Milking Machine Parts
• Check Vacuum Gauge Daily and adjust if required
Regulator
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.
