Under warm weather conditions, contamination from milking machine rubber parts can be effectively controlled by simple, practicable methods. Milk drawn by machines so treated is equal in sanitary quality to that produced by careful hand milking.

The chloramine-brine treatment proved to be quite as effective as the hot water treatment in controlling bacterial contamination, while superior from the standpoint of economy and simplicity.
