How to milk a goat

Back again my @ myart, and the discussion this time is still the same with yesterday that is about milk dairy livestock. And the animal this time is the milk-producing goat.

How to milk a goat, usually the question that many beginner goat breeders ask, or you are interested to start a dairy goat breeding business.

How to milk goat milk is not difficult, it would be helpful if you also understand how the work of udder (udder is a goat's body that is shaped like a bag of milk storage).

Imagine the udder of a milk as a glove from a latex filled with water. Imagine the dummy from the udder as the fingers of the glove, then imagine there is a hole in the tip of the glove of the glove and you want to get or remove the water from that hole.

If you just grab and squeeze a finger, most of the water will return to the glove palm, not out the hole. In order to get water out of the glove pit, you take your thumb & index finger and pinch off the finger of the glove, so the water can not flow back, then you cover all your fingers, forcing the water trapped out the hole. That's how milking goats from the udder is about done.

How to milk a goat

1. Prepare yourself to milk a goat. The deployment took place on 4-7 days after Goat gave birth to her child. Before day 4-7, colostrum is produced which is needed by the child of goat / cempe for its survival and health. To start preparing goats in a place that is not too large for the goats can not move much to facilitate the process of milking. Goats that have been trained since childhood will be easier to be milked. Or at least a goat can be tied up in a way that does not move much. Before starting milking milk should be cleaned with warm water.

2. Use a container of glass or stainless steel to accommodate the results of the milking. Direct the milk from the udder to the sides / walls of the container you are using. Check the results of the first milking to identify the milk obtained. The results of the first milking can be removed because it usually contains a lot of bacteria.

3. Now milking can begin. Place a clean stainless steel bucket under the udder & get ready to see the results of all your work!

4. For your goat's milk, simply pinch off the pacifier near the udder base with your thumb & forefinger, cover the rest of your fingers, which force out & milk into the container you use. Now let go of your grip, then repeat.

5. When you are flushed, as the supply slows, move your hands upward to the udder to stimulate more milk. Kemping / cempe do this, and they DO NOT do it gently! The more mature Cempe sucks to its mother in a slightly rough way so that the mother lifts up their hind legs.

6. Release the mother goat and reconnect with the child.

7. Practice continuing your ability to blush.
