[QUOTE="Yonlass, post: 7542252, member: 89736"] Definitely something to be said for continuity of staff. If the same person is milking, you know what went on at the last milking-any cows that had a clot or a low yield and need checking at the next milking. Reliefs that dip in and out, dare I say, will have a tendency to 'leave it to the next one'. They also don't feel the consequences financially if you get penalised. Clean, dry cubicles are a must. Clean cows mean clean workers. Try and keep tails clipped. Another way to keep everything cleaner. If we have an iffy cow, we put a paper towel round the pipe, meaning it needs disinfecting afterwards. Disinfect anything after the dump bucket. Throw the paper away after wiping a mastitic one. Disinfect hands after drawing one. I do 13 milkings per week, with someone in the pit aswell. Luckily, all our reliefs are pretty good at spotting things (or at least they'll tell you 🙄). We had a mastitis issue a couple of years ago. Cow after cow wrong, but managed to stay under the 200 (by keeping way too much milk out of the tank). Seemed to sort it out when we got rid of a dirty worker 🤔 [/QUOTE]
