Description:
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.
