摘要 |
The present invention provides an apparatus for use in conjunction with a milking machine for reducing the incidence of milking claw or cluster contamination following uncoupling and retraction of the milking claw or cluster from an animal. The milking claw is retracted from the animal by the application of negative pressure and is retained in a retracted position by a retaining device which retains the milking claw in a predetermined position, even when the milking machine is turned off or, in the case of a portable machine, transported to another location.
