Post-Milking Teat Care: Dipping

What happens here

Once milking is complete and the clusters have been removed (either automatically or manually), focus on the 'post-dip' procedure. Each teat is dipped into a disinfectant solution. This critical step helps to close the teat canal, preventing bacteria from entering the udder and significantly reducing the risk of mastitis and other infections, thereby maintaining udder health.

Goal: Understand the importance of post-milking teat dipping, a hygiene practice to prevent infection after milk extraction.
