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

Milking Machine Parts
Liner
• Must be changed every 2500 cow milkings
or 6 months (whichever comes first)
Milking Machine Parts

• If they split earlier than 1 year change
immediately
Milking Machine Parts

• Must be changed every 2 years or if any
split before then change immediately
Milking Machine Parts
Pulsator

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.
