Milking hygiene is one of the most fundamental stages of quality and safe milk production. Failure to properly carry out pre- and post-milking practices may cause an increase in microbial load in milk and lead to udder health problems. This situation may affect both animal health and the economic efficiency of the milk business.
Before milking, the teats must be cleaned, disinfected with appropriate hygiene products, and the milking equipment must be ensured to be clean. A dirty teat surface or insufficiently cleaned milking equipment may negatively affect milk quality. In addition, regular hygiene practices help reduce the risk of contamination during the milking process.
After milking, teat protective and disinfectant applications are of great importance. Since the teat canal may remain open for a while after milking, protective hygiene practices should be applied during this period.
