STIMULATION OF COW MILK EJECTION REFLEX AT MACHINE MILKING AND DEVICE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A01J5/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture. Claimed process comprises application of intermittent electric pulses via electrodes to reflex zones in the udder mammilla zone. Said electrodes are applied from the udder lateral and medial sides. Active electrode with negative current pulse is applied on the lateral zone while passive electrode with positive current pulse is applied on the medial zone. Said effects are brought about by the burst of pulses of some 4-8 pulses at current density of 104-110 mcA/cm², frequency of 400-800 Hz and pulse duration-to-pause duration ratio of 6:4. Claimed device comprises electrodes integrated with the teet cup, control circuit, pulse generator connected with control circuit and indicator unit, power supply connected to control circuit. Said active and passive electrodes are opposed at the inner side of said teet cups. Active electrode with negative current pulse is applied on the lateral zone while passive electrode with positive current pulse is applied on the medial zone. Additionally, control circuit comprises the sensor unit connected with electrodes. Unit inputs are connected with the output of stimulation signal generator and the signal control switch while its output is connected with control unit input.

EFFECT: increased milk ejection reflex.
