| Summary: | The present study purpose the health, hygienic, technical and technological diagnosis of milking conditions of dairy cows belonging to 40 soilless small herds in the region of Sousse (Tunisia coastal semi-arid). 1200 quarters from 300 cows in total were tested by the CMT for 3 passages spaced 4 weeks. Also, a monitoring of manual and mechanical practices of milking and of the status of milking machines, adopted in 35 farmers, has been associated. It basically shows that at least 35% of the tested quarters are infected and 2% are non-functional during the monitoring period. The assessment of milking conditions has led to mention mainly, abnormal conceptions about the motor drive power and the flow rate of the vacuum pump, of functioning (gauge ...) and maintenance (20% of milking machines were in poor condition). Milking practices were generally incorrect, especially that 78% of farmers do not control the first jets and that all of them does not disinfect the teats after milking. |
