Abstract
The invention refers to a milking device and a method of handling a milking device. The milking device includes a milk-transporting member () having at least one teatcup () and arranged to transport milk from a teat of an animal to a milk-collecting member () during a milking state. A low pressure is connected to the milk-transporting member () for sucking the milk from the teat to the milk collecting member. A gas conduit () permits the introduction of a gas into the milk-transporting member. The gas conduit has a first end (), which is a gas inlet member (). The gas conduit has a second end connectable to a relatively low pressure for permitting a flow of a cleaning fluid from the milk-transporting member through the gas conduit during a cleaning state.
