 Milking is one of the most important jobs on your dairy farm. Consistency of milking affects cow well being, mastitis risk and milking speed.
Consistent use of standardized milking practices such as predipping, forestripping, drying teats with a single-use towel, unit alignment and rapid unit attaching and detaching at the right time are essential to quality milk production.
This workshop is designed for Spanish-speaking milkers. Taught in Spanish, it provides hands-on training that will reinforce best milking practices, including proper stimulation; the essentials of milk let-down; and best prepping procedures to reduce mastitis.
