1.4 SUCCESSFUL MILKING
Prerequisites for successful milking:
• A milking installation designed in accordance with ISO 5707 or 3 A and set up correctly.
• Stable vacuum conditions due to an appropriately sized vacuum pump, a balance tank and vacuum
reserve as well as properly sized vacuum lines.
• Milking vacuum and automatic cluster removal must be set correctly to suit the animals.
Regular checks and adjustments to meet any herd changes will also ensure successful milking.
• A milking cluster selected to suit the animals.
• Correctly positioned cluster. Keep hoses as short as possible to avoid unnecessary sagging.
• Scheduled maintenance and cleaning of the milking installation. Regular thorough cleaning and
disinfection of the milking installation will help improve animal health, milk quality and therefore milking
results.
• When replacing parts, only use genuine BouMatic spare parts!
• Recommended settings are only valid in conjunction with genuine BouMatic products.
• The conscientious implementation of milking routines will have a positive effect on milking results.
Attention!
Milking without milk flow (overmilking) must be avoided, as it will very quickly have an adverse
effect on teat condition and udder health
