Risultati di prove di controllo in impianti di mungitura del sassarese

The principal results are reported of tests carried aut on 86 milking machine installations on farms in the province of Sassari. On examination of the results serious and frequent defects as a whole. Some were due to lack of maintenance and assistance, others to errors in planning and installations, and still others were by an irrational use of the installations on the part of the agricu1tural operators. All this has shown that it wuold be desireble to consider: certification of the milking machine installations; more widespread controls on farms, to be carried out annually; the teaching of reational milking techinnques to agricultural operators.
