teatcup

Caption: Aim to apply disinfectant to every area of skin that has been touched by the teatcup liner.

The two rigid stainless steel teatcup shells applied to the front two quarters of the udder are visible.

And what happens in the teatcup relies on how the milking machine is functioning and how each person handles and milks the cows.

Cracks and scaly skin provide hiding places for the bacteria that are transferred from cow to cow on teatcup liners to avoid teat disinfection.

In the same way that tyres are the point of connection between cars and the road, the teatcup liner is the connection between the machine and the cow.

Teatcup cleaning Water based teat cleaning with unique separate teatcup cleaning, provides for optimal hygiene and meets the most demanding requirements.

Bacteria in milk from an infected cow may be found on the teatcup liners and transferred to the teat skin of the next five to six cows that are milked with that unit.

If you are uncertain about what is right, get advice from a local milking machine technician who is confident in interpreting specifications published by AMMTA, or from the manufacturers of the teatcup shells.
