MACHINE MILKING

Published by the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. Whitehall Place, London S.W. 1. Bulletin 177. 1959

University of Illinois, Urbana

ABSTRACT

This bulletin contains 195 pages with 50 line drawings and 67 photographs. It was prepared under the general supervision of Dr. A. T. R. Mattick, with the help of the staff of the National Institute for Research in Dairying at Reading.

This bulletin is unique in that it combines the theory and practice of the milking process, starting with the anatomy and structure of the udder and the physiology of lactation. Mastitis is emphasized as a major problem in machine-milking.

The problems of maintenance, design, and construction of milk machines are considered in a very practical but detailed way. The construction, operation, and organization of milking parlors are illustrated to provide a sound basis for their construction.

The care, cleaning, and sterilizing of all milking equipment are described in detail. The atomic structure of the rubber molecule is shown and explanations given for the care needed to preserve and prolong the life of rubber inflations.

This bulletin is well written and very informative. The cost is 12s.6d., net.
