The Milking Machine as It Relates to Mastitis

Recent studies in the field and in research laboratories indicate pressure changes within the system can cause bacterialaden milk droplets to be introduced into the teat during milking. If this evidence is confirmed, mastitis control will be difficult, if not impossible, until milking systems are modified to prevent this reentry of milk to the teats. Some independent agency should draft safety rules for milking machine design to reduced tissue damage and microbial recontamination of the teat orifice.
