摘要：
Method of mechanically milking a lactating animal, such as a cow, a goat and a sheep, comprising: &bull； providing an animal having at least one teat, said teat comprising an elongate shaft and a teat end at an end of said shaft, said teat end comprising a teat canal having an external orifice； &bull； before starting the milking, radially compressing the longitudinal portion of the shaft of the teat from a natural pre-milking state to a compressed state； &bull； milking the teat by repeatedly alternatingly increasing and decreasing a diameter (D) of at least a longitudinal portion of its shaft, while maintaining a substantially axi-symmetric shape of said portion of the shaft and while keeping the diameter (D) of the longitudinal portion of the shaft below that (Dn) of its natural pre-milking state, and while continuously applying a milking vacuum to the teat end so as to extract milk from the external orifice of the teat canal. The presently disclosed method may be effected without liner collapses, and is thus capable of maintaining the teat end and the teat shaft in a less straining axi-symmetric shape. Also disclosed is the use of a teat cup liner for practicing the disclosed method.
