Teat-Ends

Monitoring teat-end-scores is a simple tool to help keep your cows healthy and reduce incidence of costly mastitis. A systematic survey of teat ends should be performed regularly to ensure that your cows are being appropriately milked out without overmilking.

There are loads of resources available here at the University of Wisconsin Milk Quality.

We also have a Google Chrome WebApp that you can use for free to keep records of your teat scores. It is low latency, free to use, and an easy way to keep a detailed spreadsheet record of your teat end scores. You can use it with a iPhone, an Android phone, or with a tablet. It will give you a running percentage of your grades, and you can save your records to a spreadsheet by clicking the “Save Records”.
