The Importance of Milking Parlor Hygiene
Preparing your milking routine is one of the most vital steps to ensure that you get clean, healthy milk from your herd. One of the most important places to clean is the milking parlor to prevent the spread of bacteria to your milk products and your cows. Neglecting to clean your milking parlor can result in a high somatic cell count, which indicates mastitis levels in your herd, and other bacterial infections, leaving you with a poorer end product. Because of this, it is essential that you establish a thorough cleaning process for your milking parlor.
