Subject field(s)

CONT

During the first seconds of milking as well as during the end of milking the milk flow is low, reaching a value of a few hundred grams of milk per minute. During the high flow phase the milk flow reaches values typically of 3-6 kg milk per minute. The system vacuum level is usually kept at a constant level throughout milking. However, the ideal situation is a milking machine which is adapted to the variation in milk flow during the complete milking and to the different udder quarters.

CONT

With most conventional units, the claw outlet should be pointed in a lightly downward direction to facilitate milk flow into the milk hose and away from the cow.
