Short Communication: Correlations Between Udder Morphology, Milk Yield, and Milking Ability with Different Milking Frequencies in Dairy Goats

Abstract: Tinerfeñ a breed goats were assigned to 2 experimental herds and milked once (n = 28) or twice (n = 24) daily to study correlations between udder morphology, milk yield, and milking ability during the middle stage of the first lactation. Pearson correlation coefficients were significantly higher between yield and measures of udder globulousness (udder volume, r = 0.79 and r = 0.59; perimeter of insertion of the udder, r = 0.47 and r = 0.37; distance between teats, r = 0.77 and r = 0.28, for goats milked once a… Show more

“…As mentioned earlier, high SCC of raw milk clearly refers to an abnormality in milk or udder health of animal. Moreover, in addition to BCS data, measuring udder traits could be advised as a useful process to goat selection for later lactations in the farms (Capote et al 2006).…”

“…Goats were milked in a double 12-stall parallel milking parlor (Alfa Laval Iberia SA, Madrid, Spain) equipped with recording jars (4 L ± 5%) and a low-line milk pipeline. Milking was performed at a vacuum pressure of 42 kPa, a pulsation rate of 90 pulses/min, and a pulsation ratio of 60/40, in accordance with Capote et al (2006). The milking routine included wiping dirt off teat ends and stripping 2 to 3 squirts of milk from each teat; machine milking and stripping milking, done by the operator to remove the milk remaining in the udder before cluster removal; and teat dipping in an iodine solution (P3-cide plus; Henkel Hygiene, Barcelona, Spain).…”

“…Mavrogenis et al (1989) encontraram uma baixa correlação entre produção de leite e medidas de úbere, enquanto outros encontraram correlações mais altas e significativas (Peris et al, 1999 (2003) e Rupp et al (2011). Com base nisso, uma seleção genética de cabras com úberes mais inseridos e, portanto, profundos, favoreceria uma menor celularidade; contudo úberes com essa característica são associados a uma menor produção de leite (Manfredi et al, 2001;Capote et al, 2006;Clement et al, 2006). Portanto, a seleção genética de cabras com úberes mais profundos deve ser criteriosamente estudada a fim de não reduzir a produtividade dos animais.…”
