- Abstract
A thermovision research of the mammary glands of cattle before and after the milking was performed in order to determine the impact of milking machines of various types on the state of the udder, followed by the determination of the temperature difference at the same points of the mammary gland. The obtained data showed that there are differences between milking machines due to their influence on temperature fluctuations of the teats of the udder; and the method of thermography allows us to predict the temperature variables of the teat before and after the milking. Variables of teats temperature before and after the milking in the form of thermograms can be used as indicators of the quality of equipment on the one hand, and as its impact on the mammary gland, one the other hand. As the milking machines and milking technologies are being improved the lower is the difference in the temperature of the teats before and after the milking. In that case the research, carried out with the help of thermography, confirmed the role of machine milking errors in the pathogenesis of diseases of the mammary gland and in particular the teats of the udder.
