Goat milking tutorial

Hello, there are two ways of milking: mechanical milking and manual milking. Commonly used manual milking methods include milking method (also known as fist-clenching method) and sliding milking method (also known as milking method). The milking method is more scientific and conforms to the physiological characteristics and breast development of dairy goats, so it is more commonly used. The milking method is suitable for dairy sheep with medium or slightly long nipples. First, hold the nipple base with your thumb and forefinger to prevent backflow and keep your hand still. Then, squeeze the milk with the middle finger, ring finger and little finger palm. When milking, the force should be even, the action should be agile and light, the grip strength and speed of both hands should be consistent, and the direction should be symmetrical, so as not to cause breast deformity. At the same time, when milking, do not squeeze or relax your hands at the same time, but relax and squeeze one by one, alternately. For some dairy sheep with too small nipples, the sliding extrusion method can be used to squeeze, hold the nipple base with thumb and forefinger, and slide from top to bottom to squeeze out the milk. For ewes with small nipples at first birth, the sliding extrusion method should be changed to extrusion method after the nipples are elongated. At the end of milking, massage the breast again and squeeze the milk clean. In addition, the milking room is required to be quiet and clean when milking. The milkman's nails should be trimmed frequently to avoid damaging the breasts. At the same time, always keep your hands, clothes and utensils clean and hygienic. In addition, the attitude of the crowd towards sheep must be mild. Milking must be carried out regularly, according to a certain method and order. Don't make noise when milking, and don't disturb the milk sheep. You can contact me if you don't understand. I can give you better advice. There are also study materials and videos for you to learn.
