Abstract: | The surface temperature of the teat at rest is about 30°C in healthy dairy cows kept indoor under ordinary conditions. It usually decreases by about 1°C during manual premising teat stimulation (Hamann & Dück 1984, Eichel 1986, Hamann 1988,1992). And it usually increases above the level prior to the stimulation by up to about 2.5°C during the milk removal phase of conventional machine milking (Schneider 1981, Hamann & Dück 1984, Hamann 1985,1988,1989, Mayntz 1990, Eichel 1992). The statements made are supported by the results of our own investigations, i.e. − 0.8 and + 2.1 °C, respectively. |
