Preparation for milking

 Assemble the milking equipment.

 Clean all the parts of the milking equipment.

 Put the cow in a milking place and tie the hind legs with a

rope.

 Give the cow some feeds to keep it busy and relaxed during

milking.

 Wash the udder and teats to encourage milk let down.

 Wash your hands clean.

 From each teat, draw one or two streams of milk through a
strip cup to detect the presence of mastitis in milk.

 If the cow has mastitis, blood stains will be seen in milk

drawn through a strip cup.
