Milking machine

The milking machine is a Appareil making it possible to carry out the milked mechanical of the animals in breeding Lait ier (Vache, Chèvre, ewe…).

The principal element of a milking machine is the teat cup which is applied to the trayon and imitates the suction exerted by calf. The pulsations of the teat cup, regular continuation of phases of aspiration and massage, are obtained by means of a pulsator.

The milking machine being in direct contact with the animal must be regulated precisely to avoid any wound to him and not to cause the appearance of Mammite S. In addition, all the parts which collect the Lait, fragile biological liquid, must be cleaned and disinfected carefully.

The milking machine was invented by the Colvin American in 1862.

The museum “National Dairy Shrine” (in the United States) on the dairy production is probably most famous on this subject.

Until the end of the 20th century, the milking machine required the presence of a human operator to wash milk them cow and to install the goblets - milkers. Shrinking of the goblets - milkers automates themselves more and more (by detection of the stop of milk descent) and one sees appearing towards the Années 2000 milking machines entirely automated.

These “robots of draft” are able automatically to alert the stockbreeder of a suspect fall of Lactation of a cow, to even analyze in real-time the quality of milk. The stockbreeder can then use this information to adapt the Food intake provided to the animal, or to carry out a thorough medical examination to analyze the causes of the variations observed.
