It is designed for dairy farmers and herd managers dealing with mastitis, haemorrhage or a high cell count in one quarter, and it is best for yards that want to keep milking routines running normally while an affected quarter is handled separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts low-profile, non-capsize shape sits stably beneath the cow, so she can move freely without tipping the unit, and soft rubber tubes keep the connection flexible and gentle. The unbreakable construction is built for repeated daily use in a working parlour.
