Milking hygiene: new issues and opportunities from automatic milking
Automatic milking offers the opportunity of in-line measurements of milk components, check of milking and cleaning procedures,<br />and surveillance through the management program. These advantages may directly benefit the milk quality.<br />Diversion of abnormal milk at time of milking...
