The milking machine "Burenka" is designed for home use. It is designed to milk a small number of cows and is suitable for small farms.

Different models of this machine can be used for alternate milking (standard model) and simultaneous milking (tandem model) of two cows or goats.

The Burenka milking machine, the photo of which is presented below, is one of the most popular and affordable units in Russia.

Advantages of new technologies

The convenience of using milking machines is that the process itself is much faster than with direct manual milking (about 5 minutes - 1 cow).

Ease of use of the device allows even a non-specialist to use it, so you can entrust the process of milking during the absence of the owners to one of the relatives or neighbors.

A common symptom for those who milk often and a lot by hand is pain in the joints. When using the machinethese symptoms do not develop, as there is no need to maintain an uncomfortable body position for a long time and load the muscles of the hands.

Proper use of the milking machine is often preferable to the animal than inept hand milking.

The milking machine "Burenka" has all these qualities. It facilitates the work of the breeder and supports the comfort and he alth of the animals themselves.

Device of the milking machine

Design depends on machine model.

For example, the Burenka milking machine has the following components:

• the platform with wheels on which the unit is installed allows you to easily and comfortably move fairly heavy milking equipment;

• Milk collection container (25 liters) with stainless steel lid;

• vacuum hoses, through which air is removed to create the necessary pressure;

• food grade plastic hoses for milk movement;

• teat tips ("cups") made of stainless steel with rubber (silicone) nozzles for comfortable contact with the animal's udder - 4 pieces;

• Piston vacuum pump creates uniform and comfortable pulsations for the animal and ensures uniform pressure in the hoses;

• vacuum gauge indicates pressure value;

• Vacuum regulator allows you to adjust the pressure value;

• receiver - air storage tank;

• The vacuum pump motor is the heart of the machine.

How to train a cow to use a milking machine?

As practice shows, the Burenka milking machine reviews are quite positive. It is perceived by cows quite well, the light design of the nozzle of the apparatus does not cause discomfort to the animal, and the soft silicone inserts on the teat tips do not injure the udder. However, many breeders worry that their cows will not like being milked by the machine and will be wasting their money.

Accustoming an animal to machine milking is fast enough. Even those cows that have been milked only by hand for a long time can be trained to get used to the machine.

Experienced breeders say that in order to accustom a cow to the machine, it is recommended to start by simply turning on the machine with the cow, without connecting it to the udder, so that the animal gets used to the noise of the motor.

If the sound of the running machine does not irritate the cow, it is recommended to milk her by hand at this time, so that the milking process is associated with the noise produced by the running machine.

The first time you connect the appliance to a cow that is not used to it, you should divert her attention with tasty feed and milk it.

If you notice that the cow is uncomfortable (kicking, nervous) during milking with the machine, remove the cups from the teats and massage the udder to calm and relax her. Then try again.

Most animals get used to the milking machine quite quickly, but sometimes you have to be patient before the cow shows loy alty to the technique. First-calf heifers are recommended to be immediately accustomed to milking with a device, and not with hands.
