P. Billon, N. Fernandez Martinez, O. Ronningen, F. Sangiorgi & E. Schuiling
This paper proposes quantitative recommendations which take into account their own physiology, special milking routines used in the different countries, and the need for producing high quality milk. An attempt is made to provide the most accurate guidelines for construction and performance for milking machines for small ruminants in general.

Guidelines for Test of the Flow Capacity of the Milking Unit
IDF Standing Committee on Farm management
ISO standards for performance requirements and tests of milking machines have to cover the function and test of milking machines as well as for all member countries. Paragraph 1 of clause 16 of the ISO standard 5707 was meant as a measurement of the flow capacity of a milking cluster but turned out to be problematic and inconsistent. The document presented in this bulletin, prepared by an Action Team, describes the shortcomings of the current standard and proposes a new test method.
