If you have a problem of teat and udder erosion in your herd
| chances are you are milking with unstable vacuum And, as more
and more animal health authorities have been agreeing that many
teat and udder injuries whicn have contributed to the spread of
mastitis have been caused by unstable milking vacuum you
should have your milking machine’s performance checked
We’ll be happy to do this for you with our DETCO Graph Machine
It’s a remarkable, new invention that records vacuum readings at
the milker units attached to the teats, recording the milking vacuum
and pulsating vacuum simultaneously And tells you in easyto
understand graph form, as shown in the photo above, if you are
milking with unstable vacuum at the teat end
the size of your vacuum pump and the size of your air
and milk lines are good recommendations But if you still don’t
have stable vacuum at the teat ends—investigate ourZERO CONCORD
Twin-Vacuum Pipeline Milking System It’s a combination of a
revolutionary pipeline milking machine and the ZERO Completely-
Automated Vacuum Bulk Milk

The device was called a winder It wound the yarn into skeins, and a
gadget popped, pounded, or clicked to indicate that a full skein had been
