Efficient dairy farming: equipment and solutions for first-class milk production

Our milking accessories offer farmers and dairy farmers essential tools for efficient and precise milk production. These include milking pails, milking clothing such as milking aprons and milking gloves, and milk filters.

• Milking apron: Protects the milker and equipment from dirt and germs, contributing to better overall hygiene.
• Milking pails: Should be easy to clean and made of stainless material to avoid contamination.

The robust Premium milking apron is ideal for use during milking. The extremely tear- and kink- proof material is waterproof and protects you from getting wet. The adjustable neck strap can be customised. Tying the apron using the waist straps allows the apron to be put on quickly. If you want to carry utensils with you when milking, the version with pockets is perfect. You can keep udder paper, dip cups, etc. handy in the pockets.

The milking pail is made of a semi-transparent material and makes it easy to read the fill level from a distance. This makes it easier to check the milk. Compared to other common plastic milking buckets, the body of the container is made from one piece. The special design and the extremely robust plastic make the bucket extremely durable.

Cleaning the pail is very easy and hygienic thanks to the smooth inner surface. The milking pail also impresses with its double embossed filling scale, the metal carrying handle and a capacity of 30 litres.

A good milk filter should have the following properties:

• Effectiveness: It must be able to reliably remove all contamination such as dirt particles. In addition, the udder health can be monitored using the milk flakes filtered out.
• Flow rate: It should provide an adequate flow rate so as not to slow down the milking process.
• Material quality: Made from robust, food-approved material.

The filter should be changed after each milking to ensure milk quality and minimise the risk of contamination. Our milk filters from SANA offer high tear resistance and the finest filtration.

The filtration of raw milk is an important component in milk production.  The milk filter has the following tasks:

• Cleaning the milk of coarse dirt particles (manure, hair, straw, insects, etc.)
  
• Recognising udder diseases in the herd (milk flakes)
• Monitoring udder cleaning

When buying a milk filter, it is essential to choose the right size and quality. Filters that are too small cannot be fixed properly or are damaged during insertion. Filters that are too large, on the other hand, sit too loosely or overlap and are damaged by higher vibrations and disrupt the filtering process.

• Preparing the cows: thoroughly clean and disinfect the udder and teats. Use products such as KerbaWasch 2.0 and Kerba FoamWasch for effective cleaning.
  
• Proper milking technique: Milk gently and evenly to avoid stress and injury.
• Compliance with hygiene standards: Use clean milking equipment and change filters regularly.
• Cooling the milk: Immediate cooling to 4°C to prevent bacterial growth.

Udder cleaning is a fundamental aspect of udder health and milk quality. It serves to remove dirt, bacteria and other potentially harmful substances from the udder to ensure high milk quality and minimise the risk of infection.

The udder is cleaned before milking. The teats are cleaned with warm water, an udder cloth or paper and an udder cleaner.

KerbaWasch 2.0 is an udder wash concentrate with cleansing and skin-nourishing active ingredients. The cleaning solution is diluted and used with an udder paper or cloth to wet-clean the teats and udder. As a concentrate, it is very economical.

Kerba FoamWash is a cleaning and care foam based on lactic acid. The ready-to-use solution is applied to the teats with a foaming dip cup or diluted with a dip sprayer. The teats are then cleaned with an udder tissue or cloth. The foam application makes the application particularly economical.

After milking, the teats are exposed and susceptible to pathogens. Careful post-milking treatment with disinfectant dips is therefore essential to prevent the penetration of bacteria and inflammation of the udder (mastitis).

Finally, udder care also plays an important role in the production of high-quality milk. Below we present a selection of our udder care products:

The udder care products with peppermint oil KerbaMint and CareMINT care for stressed teats and udders. The udder tissue is kept supple by the nourishing ingredients and at the same time the product has a cooling effect that is pleasant for the animal.

The washable care balm has a gel-like consistency and provides effective protection and care for the udder tissue with the help of plant-based essential oils. It keeps the udder soft and supple and protects against brittle, cracked skin.

To ensure optimum hygiene of the livestock, the milk and the milker, the cow's tail hair contaminated with excrement and urine should be removed twice a year. The TailWell2 makes this hard work much easier.

The udder should also be as free of hair as possible so that it can be cleaned more easily and general udder hygiene can be improved. The PREVENTA udder hair remover removes udder hair quickly and painlessly using a ‘cold’ flame.
