Much of the terminology used in the thousands of publications on mastitis and<br />
its control is unique to mastitis and many terms used in one English-speaking<br />
country are described by a different term in another country.<br />
Members of IDF Group A2 have recognised these differences and the lack of<br />
guidance when trying to determine the preferred terms. It is hoped that the<br />
present document, with contributions from all members of Group A2, will be of<br />
value to all of those interested in mastitis and the production of quality milk.<br />

Instruments for Mechanical Tests of Milking Machines<br />
IDF Group of Experts A32<br />
This document provides information about the various devices that can be used<br />
to test milking machine performance, which will help in the choice of convenient<br />
and appropriate test equipment as well as indicating the need for new and better<br />
instruments.<br />
A proposal for test terminology is presented. All the information on the<br />
instruments listed has been provided by manufacturers or distributors.<br />
