Hand milking equipment – vacuum pump for milking and colostrum extraction

WALDOS brings you the proven Udderly EZ milking technology for hand milking, which is especially suitable for small and medium-sized farms, individuals and breeders. Larger farms will also appreciate this milking equipment for milking animals with udder disease or for milking the best quality colostrum.

Why not milk with bare hands?

Primarily because of the significant reduction in hygiene, sanitation or health risks. Hand milking with a vacuum milking set is a more comfortable and hygienic way of collecting milk and colostrum (colostrum) for both the farmer and the animal than milking with fingers and palms in the classic hand milking method, provided that the principles of disinfection and maintenance are observed.

Mechanical hand milking is more gentle on the animal than hand milking. You can prevent or greatly reduce the possibility of transmission of infection from the animal’s udder to the human, or vice versa, from the human’s hands to the udder and the animal. Infectious papillomatosis of the udder – warts, festering and swollen wounds, blisters or other complications will no longer bother you. This means improved conditions for the breeder, but also for the mother animal and her young and the environment of the barn.

Our product sets are gentle on the cow, guarantee better udder condition, milk will flow more easily into and out of the udder. This will be appreciated by both experienced dairy farmers and those who do not have much experience with hand milking.

Convenience after giving birth and nursing

The method of collecting colostrum and milk with the vacuum set is gentle on both the mother animal and the baby at the sensitive time after birth and postpartum conditions. They are gentle on the udder and the calf, allowing immediate and convenient access to the mother’s colostrum directly from the collection unit.

No stress during milking
Neither mothers nor their young are subjected to physical or mental discomfort during milking or the first contact with the colostrum (colostrum). The milking machine is invaluable for postpartum conditions, when the udder is painful and the skin is tight, or when the mother refuses to breastfeed her newborn.

Immediate nutrition for the calf
After birth, you can conveniently provide the baby with the necessary amount of adequate nutrition directly from the collection container, immediately after the mother has sucked out the colostrum.The milking set is an indispensable helper when feeding from the udder is problematic – in the case of udder or teat anomaliesor muzzle deformity.

Advantages when removing the colostrum

As long-time livestock farmers (the owner of Waldos is also a veterinarian), we have developed procedures to maximize both the quality and quantity of colostrum collection and recommend the use of milking equipment, which provides several advantages:

Aseptic hygienic colostrum collection and visual inspection of the collection. The suction is performed only by the force of a vacuum developed by your own sensitive hand on the device and checked by sight.
Different sizes of milking suction devices are gentle on the udder after birth, respecting interspecies variation in the structure, texture, size and position of the udder or teats. The use of one set with different attachments guarantees painless and hygienic collection (welfare).
The possibility of changing teats prevents the development of alimentary and metabolic disorders in the digestive tract of the calf (diarrhoea, bloating, vomiting, abdominal pain, lack of appetite, etc.), which can occur if the milking equipment is not cleaned properly.
It is possible to continuously and easily check the quality of the colostrum with an optical refractometer or density meter.
Different sets for different animal species, the colostrum can be stored without overfilling in a closed container after removal.
The use of multiple sets ensures that the colostrum is not mixed, diluted when collected at different times and from different animals.

Note: Why not use one milking set together for multiple animals?

We are inclined to the opinion of and the practical experience of most users that it is a good idea to get at least one hand-held vacuum milking set for each type of animal. Reasons:

the problem of transfer of micro-organisms between several animal species
interspecies differences in udder structure, structure, size and position of the udder, condition and size, number and position of teats
the volume of milk produced varies from one species to another
colostrum – notsuitable for mixing due to individual interspecies differences in composition

Easier work, more profit

Even for a small farmer with a small number of animals, milking by hand is physically and time-consuming. Mechanical hand milking saves the farmer effort and time, while giving him access to a larger volume of milk or colostrum. It is gentler on both the animal and the calf, and their better condition leads to better economic results. Hygiene and health considerations and the quality and health safety of the milk and its products after further processing are not negligible. The result is therefore greater customer satisfaction, customer satisfaction and a better price on the market.
