Ensuring continuous efficiency at milk production isn't an easy task: there are many challenges in the process. So how can we accomplish that? In this episode, with Dr. Paola Bacigalupo Sanguesa, we talk about parlor and milking efficiency, issues associated with both concepts, milk losses caused by specific problems, and future research aimed at improving milking results. And, since Paola is an experienced extension educator, she also gives some tips on how we can develop and retain our employees at the farm.“The idea that we want to change is that more cows through the parlor might not equal more pounds of milk. Maybe we can reach a similar amount of pounds by establishing a better milking routine, but without needing more cows.” – Dr. Paola Bacigalupo SanguesaWhat you’ll learn:Highlight (00:00)Introduction (1:30)Developing employees at farm (8:30)Parlor and milking efficiency (10:46)Delayed milk ejection (14:31)What is bimodal milking?
