Summary

A simple in-line milk sampler is described for determining the bacterial contamination from the udders of cows milked in recorder machines. When sterilized, and used with a sterile cluster, it collects a milk sample bacteriologically representative of the cow's total yield and it can be used with minimum disruption of the milking routine.
