TYPES OF MILKERS

• Wet hand milkers who use oil, water, milk or ghee to moisten and soften the teats which is a pernicious habit. They usually draw and stretch the teat. As such calf is a wet milker since it has no choice of system.
• Dry hand milkers who draw the milk with dry hand without use of any moistening material. Desirability of cleanliness demands milk­ing with dry hands.
