Abstract

Transcuders (114) are acted upon by milk flowing respectively from each teat of the animal into a milking claw which has an upper chamber (118) and a lower chamber (120). The transducers respond to a condition of the milk and control valves (128). If the transducer indicates normal milk, valve (128) is set to direct flow into the lower chamber (120) from which it passes via pipe (122) to a collection tank. If abnormal milk is indicated, valve (128) is set to direct flow into the upper chamber (118), from which it passes via pipe (124) to a dump bucket or drain. <IMAGE>
