1. 6 1 Assesment of VaDia vacuum records from individual animal milkings 6 1 1 General To analyse the vacuum in the milking unit individual milkings have to be split into various phases For the purpose of this program four phases are used see figure 1 The peak flow period includes the period with gradually decreasing milk flow if present contrary to some other systems for analysing milkings In VaDia Viewer and analysing software there are possibilities for manual selection of the boundaries and there is an automatic function to split the milking into phases The automatic function must be regarded to be of assistance for the manual adjustment Results from the automatic splitting must always be checked before assessing vacuum conditions Let down LD Peak flow PF Overmilking OM Take off TO Start peak flow Start overmilking Start take off period Figure 1 Phases and boundaries delimiting the phases 6 1 2 Determining boundaries Start Milking This is the moment when the teatcup is attached to the teat Automatic detection The moment when SMT vacuum rises above 25 kPa Start peak flow period This is the end of the period when the teatcup is establishing a stationary position on the teat and milk flow is established It is also the start of a period with relatively stable conditions and a relatively stable milk flow Automatic detection Is based on the common mechanism that vacuum level declines when m2.
