FIELD: agricultural engineering, in particular, animal farming equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatus has bowl-shaped hood with transverse partition for separating of fore udder parts from rear udder parts, and hollow elastic layer attached along partition upper edge and hood edge. Deformers and branch pipes with throttles are mounted in each of two hood volumes. Apparatus is equipped with corrugated tube for massaging of sacrum region and gates arranged in branch pipes at hood chamber inlet end. Corrugated tube is communicated with hood via branch pipes. Deformers are provided with spring-loaded heat-insulating plates and electrodes. Elastic tubes having elliptical section are attached to hood case. EFFECT: simplified construction and increased efficiency in massaging of heifer's udder. 1 dwg
