Abstract

A properly installed and maintained milking machine creates a minimal risk in causing mastitis. There are detailed processes available to evaluate the milking machine and determine if the milking machine is creating a risk for machine induced mastitis or not. All milking equipment, both conventional and automated should be evaluated on a routine basis to determine the impact that the milking machine is having on overall teat health and milking machine induced mastitis.
