Tip of the Month – December 2022

Clean separation cans.

It is sometimes an annoyance when you don’t need a few separation cans for a while that they still get dirty and often smell.

Get in the habit of cleaning the jugs that are not being used and simply place them upside down between or next to them. Also rotate these jugs so that they do not become or remain “chronically” dirty.

DeLaval does the same with the teat cups and pre-treatment cup. After each milking upside down and rinse. Even after cleaning, they hang upside down so that dirt or milk residues as little as possible can mean something.
