Singeing Udders

When temperatures drop cows start to grow thicker hair to protect them against the winter cold. This makes them sweat, and excessive hair growth on the udder and tail may also impair robot efficiency. Cows’ tails are usually shaved mechanically using a shaver. There are two options for removing hair from the udder: shaving or singeing (flame clipping).

Liners, daily routines and maintenance

For an optimal milking process, we want to milk quickly (effective in time), gently (maintaining the comfort and well-being of the cow) and completely (milk out most of the available milk). To help achieve this optimal result, the liner choice, condition and maintenance are of major importance to this.

The Lely MQC-C: a promising on-farm tool for udder health

The somatic cell count (SCC) is a common benchmark used in mastitis management. Testing of the SCC of composite cow milk should be done every 3 weeks to 6 weeks. Additional measurements between milk controls can help with the early detection of changes in udder health.
