description

This study aimed: (1) to evaluate the relation between the incorrect hand milking and mammary health; (2) to test the hypothesis of the ewe habit in the workstation, of their choice, during the milking. Teat moisturization with foam milk collected from the milk tank represents a high-risk factor because potentially contain mastitis-causing bacteria previously released from affected ewes. Moreover, it was found that sheep are routinary animals by habit during hand milking.
