Development of teat sensing system for automated milking
Robotic application of milking cups to the udder of a cow in a rotary high capacity group milking system is a major challenge in automated milking. Application time and reliability are the main constraints. Manual application by an operator of a rotary carousel is of the order of 10 seconds and …

Milking anomie: experiencing food safety on Canadian dairy farms
The developing discipline of Food Crime requires the analysis of food safety responsibility from a critical structural perspective. Analyzing the Canadian dairy industry, this project seeks to answer how the legal definition of food safety impacts the production practices of farmers, and where …

Conceptions of milk (and 'milking') in seventeenth-century England
… how 'milk' was conceived of as semen and 'milking' as its ejaculation, relating this to how masculinity was both lauded and threatened in the seventeenth century.;This thesis pursues how animals and humans were believed to be interconnected through their milk, particularly focussing upon …

Design of a robotic manipulator for automatic application of milking cups
The application of milking cups to cow teats has been identified as a significant component of net manual labour on the commercial dairy farm. Several automatic milking systems (AMS) are available commercially, however such commercial AMS have low capacity (typically 7.5 cows/unit/hr) and speed of …

Local regulation of increased milk yield due to early lactation increased milking frequency
Increased milking frequency (IMF) during early lactation increases milk yield not only during the IMF period, but also after the cow is returned to twice daily milking (2X). The increase in yield is locally regulated within the gland; however the mechanism for the increase in yield is unknown. The …

The Physiology of Enhanced Milk Yield Through Increased Milking Frequency in Early Lactation
Increased milking frequency (IMF) in early lactation is a time and cost-effective farm management practice to enhance profit in the dairy industry. The process involves milking cows more often in early lactation alone. On farms that milk twice daily (2X), early lactation cows are milked four times …

Photon migration in highly scattering media as a measurement technique on automated cow milking systems
… varying fat content was obtained from a robotic milking system. Both milks were tested with3the photon migration instrument - the homogenised milk was tested off-line, while the raw milk was tested with the instrument beside the robotic milking system. It was found that the instrument could …

Evaluating the duration of increased milking frequency during early lactation for increased yield through lactation
Increasing the milking frequency of early lactation dairy cows increases their milk yield, both during increased milking and after the cows are returned to a normal twice-daily milking schedule. When milked four times a day (4X) for only the first twenty-one days of lactation, the right udder half …

The Impact of Parlor Equipment and Milking Procedures on Milk Quality in the Southeast US
… associations between parlor equipment function, milking procedures, and bulk tank somatic cell count (BTSCC) and bulk tank standard plate count (BTSPC) on SE US dairy farms. Data from dairies in Virginia (n = 96), Kentucky (n = 96), Tennessee (n = 84), and Mississippi (n = 7) were collected at a …

Effects of stocking rate and supplementation on pasture utilization, cow performance, and rumen environment in a pasture-based and automatic milking system
Integration of automatic milking systems (AMS) into Midwestern pasture-based systems has been suggested as an alternative low cost and labor efficient dairy system, but proper integration of this technology into a pasture-based dairy system is not well understood. The objective of this thesis was …

Relationship of management factors to differences in profitability among Virginia dairy farms
… Dairymen were questioned for 1.5 hours about milking systems and practices, feeding, reproductive and genetic aspects of breeding, calf raising and finances. Seventeen non-DHI herds were included. Objectives of the study were to assemble data that described farm management practices not found …
