About collecting milk samples
A sampling sequence normally takes 24
hours and should be stopped after
performing a system cleaning. This way, the
sampler will be cleaned after the sampling.
Before starting a system cleaning, putting
the milking station into manual mode is
recommended. This gives you the
opportunity to disconnect the sampler
before milking restarts. Consequently, milk
residues in the milk sampler during storage
or transportation will be avoided. When a
system cleaning is inconvenient or
impractical, see the section "Manual
cleaning" in chapter "Milk sampler;
Maintenance".
Reports about sampling sequences can be
accessed in the management software.
Sampling reports are located in
System
reports > VMS cow reports > Milk sampling .
For more information about reports, see
chapter "Reports" in the instruction book
"VMSMgmt 2007".
Collecting milk samples
There are three main steps when collecting
milk samples:
• Connecting the milk sampler
• Starting a sampling sequence
• Stopping a sampling sequence
Connecting the milk sampler
1. Stop the cow traffic through the milking
station. Milking must not take place when
steps 1 to 8 below are in progress.
2. Place the milk sampler in front of the
milking station on an even surface.
