The milking machine or parlour is the most important piece of equipment on a dairy farm, so ensuring that is remains operational is vital.
May is fast turning into June and for dairy farmers, it may be time to start looking at changing the liners in their milking parlours.
Liners are the only part of the milking parlour that come into direct contact with a cow's teat, making them an important part to clean.
To help prevent mastitis, CellCheck recommends that liners are changed every 2,000 milkings, or every 6 months whichever comes first, AHI says.
