Abstract
The aim of this study was to document the machine designs and cleaning practices and relate those to the bacteriological status of the machine surfaces and the milk produced on the farm, by surveying 205 New Zealand pipeline milking machines. The machine designs and cleaning practices were obtained by questionnaire, and the hygienic condition by bacterial swabs on machine surfaces, observation (FDI rating) and by quality evaluation of milk received of the factory. One-way analyses of variance were conducted on the relationships between the machine design or cleaning system; and each of the hygiene parameters. Some of the inforamtion has been previously reported (1).
