Apparatus for diagnosing milk secretion disorders in animals

摘要

There is disclosed an apparatus for diagnosing milk secretion disorders in animals such as cows. The apparatus is based upon an electric detection of deviations from the properties of a standard milk secretion, and comprises a holder carrying a diagnostic dish divided by partition walls into a number of diagnostic units corresponding to the number of teats of the animal. The diagnostic units are each provided with a measuring probe exposed to the mouths of scavenging nozzles and with a circuit for evaluating the milk quality as by its electrical conductivity. The outlet of said circuit is connected to the inlet of a display indicating, for example, when the quality of the milk in each diagnostic unit exceeds a predetermined value.
