ABSTRACT:
Transducers are acted upon by milk flowing respectively from each teat of the animal into a milking claw which has an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The transducers respond to a condition of the milk and a processor controls valves. If the transducer indicates normal milk, the valve is set to direct flow into the lower chamber from which it passes via a pipe to a collection tank. If abnormal milk is indicated, the valve is set to direct flow into the upper chamber from which it passes via a discharge pipe to a dump container or drain. The transducers, the control valves and preferably also the processor are housed within the milking claw.
