The udders of cattle and small ruminants must be constantly processed. This prevents diseases in animals and keeps dirt out of the milk. Treatment is usually carried out before milking, using special means for this.
Why handle cattle and small cattle udders
Livestock on farms must be kept perfectly clean. This is a requirement of sanitary standards that are in force on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. The purpose of these requirements is to prevent animal diseases and to prevent the ingress of dirt into dairy products.
It is more expedient to handle the udder before milking. There are several reasons for this:
- During milking, the skin of the teats is subjected to mechanical stress. Microcracks form on it, through which infection can enter.
- When milking, the pores of the nipples expand. Because of this, pathogens can enter there.
Processing is carried out for cows, for goats, for sheep - that is, any animals that are kept for milk production.
What tools to use and how to do it
Udder processing agents before milking should have a complex effect and perform the following functions:
- Softening. Neutralizes the negative effect that causes mechanical stress on the nipples.
- Disinfection. Kills pathogenic microflora that got on the udder.
- Moistening. Helps to avoid skin drying and cracking, through which pathogenic bacteria and fungi can penetrate.
- Clearing. Breaks down dirt particles adhering to the skin of the animal. This makes them easy to remove.
Processing consists of several stages:
- massage and stroking;
- cleaning with special solution;
- rinse off solution with water.
For wiping, use a soft cloth made of natural fabric (cotton, linen is suitable). Textiles should not damage the animal, scratch its skin.
