Book excerpt: Excerpt from Labor Aspects of Machine and Hand Milking Many dairymen have had milking machines long enough to know pretty well what can be expected of them in the way of doing a good job of milking and of saving time. These experiences are especially useful today When greater production is demanded from a relatively small labor force.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigations With Milking Machines The investigations of this and other experiment stations have shown that milking-machines properly operated do not injure the udders of cows, or cause garget or other udder diseases. Udder troubles are Often due to causes that are not in any way' associated with the method of milking practiced; they will occur at times in machine-milked, as well as in hand-milked herds, although less frequently when ordinary care is taken in operating the machine. The best way to avoid troubles of this kind in' case of machine-milking is to remove the machine as soon as no mbre milk comes. Down, and to finish the milking by hand without unnecessary delay. Prompt and careful hand stripping is a most important factor in successful machine-milking, even though the machine used leaves only very small amounts of milk to be stripped out. In the, selection Of the particular make of machine, a number of points should receive consideration, besides first cost and nearness to service agency, such as cost of up-keep, depreciation, simplicity of mechanism and of cleaning. The Various machines on the market differ considerably with regard to these points, andit is evident that no one machine stands out above the others in all respects; also that any farmer with a fair degree Of intelligence and resourcefulness need not hesitate to install a milking-machine in 'his dairy if he keeps twenty or more cows. In many cases it may prove advantageous to adopt machine-milking also in dairies of twelve to fifteen cows, as it will make the owner less dependent upon or entirely independent Of hired help; The actual saving in the cost of milking by machine over hand-milking is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milking Machines Our reasons for thinking that manipulation is of little or no value are that close watching of the cows at the time when manipulation commences, enables us to see a contraction of the muscles of the abdomen. Which muscles are connected with those closing the numerous milk ducts, and so far as we have noted, with vet: few exceptions, the milk flow is not increased by manipulation. A gentle pulling downward on the cups tends to secure the last of the milk, but in most cases we have found hand stripping necessary. There was a time when it seemed as if ha1d stripping would not be necessary. Soon after July 1st, the cows began to fail so much in their milk, although the pastures were excellent, that we were obliged to resort to hand stripping, and in the case of some cows to milk them altogether by hand, in order to prevent them drying two or three months before they ought. How much these results were due to visitors it is dificult to say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dairy Microbiology Handbook written by Richard K. Robinson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-03-11 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, milk and milk products are indispensable components of the food chain. Not only do individual consumers use liquid milk for beverages and cooking, but food manufacturers use vast quantities of milk powder, concentrated milks, butter, and cream as raw materials for further processing. Effective quality assurance in the dairy industry is needed now more than ever. This completely revised and expanded Third Edition of Dairy Microbiology Handbook, comprising both Volume I: Microbiology of Milk and Volume II: Microbiology of Milk Products, updates the discipline’s authoritative text with the latest safety research, guidelines, and information. Pathogens have become a major issue in dairy manufacturing. Escheria coli is a concern, and milk-borne strains of Mycobacterium avium sub-sp. paratuberculosis have been identified as a possible cause of Crohn’s disease. Even little-known parasites like Cryptosporidium have caused disease outbreaks. Consequently, a hazard analysis of selected control/critical points (HACCP) in any manufacturing process has become essential to prevent the contamination of food. This volume also: -Discusses new diagnostic techniques that allow a pathogen to be detected in a retail sample in a matter of hours rather than days -Provides thorough coverage of dairy microbiology principles as well as practical applications -Includes the latest developments in dairy starter cultures and genetic engineering techniques -Offers completely updated standards for Good Manufacturing Practice Quality control and product development managers, microbiologists, dairy scientists, engineers, and graduate students will find the Third Edition of Dairy Microbiology Handbook to be a vital resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most countries in South-East Asia have established smallholder dairy farming industries through social welfare and rural development programs to provide a regular cash flow for poorly resourced farmers. These farms are now being treated as accepted rural industries and require a more business-minded approach based on changes to farm profitability. Business Management for Tropical Dairy Farmers gives smallholder dairy farmers the business management skills they will need to remain sustainable. Drawing on detailed financial analyses of smallholders in countries such as Pakistan, Thailand and Malaysia, it shows how to budget cash inputs to match cash outflows during different seasons of the year, and how to invest wisely in improving cattle housing and feeding systems. If farmers make greater use of formats and structures for farm costs and returns, it will increase their awareness of the relative importance of all their financial inputs in terms of cost of production per kilogram of milk produced on the farm. It will also allow them to make more meaningful and timely decisions by correctly costing planned changes to their routine farming practices. The book will also be of use to support organisations to more clearly define the key drivers of profit on smallholder farms, and to government departments and national dairy organisations to routinely evaluate and update their industry policies.
