Abstract
A mechanical suuporting arm for increasing the machine milk fraction in dairy ewes was tested. Four groups of ewes having different udders types were subjected to various treatment sequences. The supporting arm showed a profound effect on the machine milk and machine stripping fractions. A significant transition of milk (236 .+-. 59 ml and 156 .+-. 92 ml) from the machine stripping to the machine milk fraction was observed in some animals. The total yield and the hand stripped yield were not affected.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
