Robotic milking and bacterial counts
Bacterial counts are always a crucial factor in milk extraction, be it through a milking robot or by means of traditional milking methods. It is obvious that bacterial counts are directly related to essential issues such as hygiene, milk quality, the general image of dairy farming and- last but not least- to the dairy farmer's financial situation. All people who know the ins and outs of today's dairy industry are aware of the fact that peaks in Total Bacterial Counts (TBC) in excess of 15,000 may show a tendency to approach values near the penalty level, although these levels are on the whole considerably higher.
