- Abstract
The overall objective of this work is to evaluate worksites and milking equipment in order to appreciate their subsequently sanitary and economic impact in dairy cattle breeding above ground. The study was conducted on a sample of 30 small herds in Monastir region during a period of three months (February, March and April 2010). The work started with a survey (farmer, exploitation, livestock ...) and hygienic and technical monitoring of milking projects of 30 farmers. Then, a visual inspection of 29 milking machines was carried out in order to assess the chosen technology and to keep it in operating condition. Poor hygienic and technical conditions of cow milking could be the probable risk factors of mastitis and also the non-respect of the design parameters of the implemented milking machines.
