Abstract
An independent quarter milker has four teat cups with individual conduits connected from the teat cups to a manifold mounted on the stall structure. Milk from the manifold flows through a pipeline to a collection tank. A flow sensor and shutoff valve in each milk conduit adjacent the manifold provides individual quarter milking control remote from the teat cups. One or more of the milk conduits may be connected with a milk collection chamber so that the milk from a single quarter may be separately collected, as when one quarter of the cow is infected.
