If you have been around milk goats for any amount of time then you know what a hassle it can be at times milking the old fashion way.  Of course we're talking about milking goats by hand and using a good old fashion milk bucket. 

Well, you'll be pleased to know that there is a simple milking system that makes milking a lot easier and a heck of a lot more comfortable.  This system is called a "closed system" milking machine.  What's really great is that this type of milking machine can help put an end to painful tired hands, kicked over milk buckets and eliminating the need to strain milk to get dirt and hair out. 

When you're done milking you simply swap the custom lid on the milk jar with a regular one and put the jar of milk right in the fridge.  It's as close as you can get going straight from the teat to the fridge.

Building A "Closed System" Goat Milking Machine
Is Super Easy... ANYONE CAN BUILD ONE

Folks, the truth is you don't have to be a rocket scientist to build this milking machine.  In fact if you know how to use 3 SIMPLE TOOLS and DRILL 2 SMALL HOLES.. YOU CAN BUILD this goat milking machine. It's so easy that even an 8 year old built one in less than 20 minutes.. right from his dining room table.

How A Closed System Goat Milking Machine Works

The way it works is there are two hoses attached to the milk container.  One hose with the teat cup attaches to the animals teat while the other hose goes to the hand vacuum pump.  Once everything is attached the entire unit becomes air tight so once you start pumping the vacuum pump it removes the air from the system which creates suction.  This in turn pulls the milk from the animal.

The milk flows directly from the teat through the milk lines right into the sealed milk container.  If you were using the traditional method of hand milking into a bucket the milk is exposed to the elements such as dirt and hair.  Oh and let's not forget being prone to being stepped in or kicked over.

To put it simply, a closed system milking machine is a totally self contained system where the milk is never exposed to the outside elements during the milking process. 

Is This Milking Machine Really Safe?

The answer is yes.  This system utilizes a hand vacuum pump that has a gauge and a relief valve.  The gauge is used for maintaining a safe vacuum range so that there isn't an excessive amount of suction.  The relief valve enables you to relieve the suction periodically so that the teat is not kept open continuously.

While this milking machine is primarily used on goats it can be used on a wide variety of animals such as sheep, cows, donkeys and even dogs for milk or collecting colostrums.

Ultimate Ease And Comfort During Milking

For those who experience or are prone to discomfort in their hands, shoulders or lower back while hand milking, you will find this milking system especially appealing.  Using it does not confine you to one position during milking.  It allows you to sit in almost any position making it easier and more comfortable during the milking process. 

Once the system is in use it becomes almost hands free requiring just a pump here and there to keep the milk flowing.  You can even wear gloves on those chilly mornings and still enjoy your favorite hot beverage while your animal is being milked!

It's important to understand that these very same machines being sold online are built from parts easily found online or at your local hardware store.  There is nothing special or proprietary about them.
