Milking Technology & Accessories: Keeping everything tight
A milking plant runs on a lot of small parts. If a blind plug is missing or a pin has been lost, the milking stops. Anyone who keeps the important spares in the cupboard stays relaxed. In this section you will find accessories for the milking plant as well as measuring equipment that lets you record the milk yield of individual cows.
Spares and small parts
Silicone teat pins are used when a quarter needs to be closed temporarily and come in sterile packaging. Blind plugs seal off free connections on the cluster so the vacuum stays stable. Cow tail holders keep the tail out of the way during milking and stop things getting dirty. Add to that cleaning guns and spray nozzles for the standing area. These parts cost little but prevent standstill. Keep a small stock of the wearing parts, then you can act immediately when something gives up.
Measuring and recording
If you know what each cow gives, you can feed more precisely and spot deviations early. Milk meters with ICAR approval record the yield during milking and suit official milk recording. Stackable measuring jugs with three litres capacity help when measuring out milk for calves or handling leftovers. Note anything unusual right there in the parlour, because afterwards a lot of it can no longer be matched to the right cow. Over a lactation, records like these turn into useful comparison figures for your herd. Label the compartments in the spares cupboard, then everyone on the team finds the right part straight away. Check the meters against the manufacturer instructions at regular intervals.
Frequently asked questions
What are teat pins for?
They close a quarter temporarily. Look for sterile packaging and clean handling according to the manufacturer instructions.
What does a blind plug do?
It seals a free connection on the cluster so the vacuum stays stable and no air is drawn in.
Why do I need a milk meter?
It records the milk yield per cow. Units with ICAR approval suit official milk recording.
Accessories for the milking plant
In the parlour it is often the small parts that decide whether milking runs smoothly. Silicone teat pins in sterile packaging are ready when a quarter has to be closed temporarily. Blind plugs keep free connections on the cluster tight, so the vacuum stays stable and no air is drawn in. Cow tail holders make room and keep the milk clean, while cleaning guns and spray nozzles deal with the standing area in a few minutes afterwards. If you want figures on your herd, a milk meter with ICAR approval records the yield of each cow directly during milking. Stackable measuring jugs round the equipment off. A small stock of wearing parts saves you standstill in the parlour. Label the compartments in the cupboard, then everyone finds the right part at once.
