has been mentioned at several points above, whether in combination with proper vacuum level and pulsation rate and ratio or teat dipping. Anything that compromises the health of the teat end potentially weakens the ability of the sphincter muscles to properly close the streak canal or the ability of the keratin lining to seal off the canal. Chapped teats during winter, teats that are traumatized by being stepped on or from improper milking machine function, cows being suckled by other cows, improper or repeated insertion of teat cannulas for intramammary infusion of antibiotics or other intramammary treatments or for draining milk from teats that are damaged, all may compromise the health of the teat end.
