It is interesting that the universities continue to state that Staph aureus is a very signficant problem in the dairy industry while ignoring the fact that Cornell University research published in the Journal of Dairy Science proves that the CoPulsation Milking System virtually ELIMINATES all new Staph aureus infections. They also ignore the research by Dr. Derek Forbes proving liner pinch of conventional machines force the bacteria up the canal. Alternating pulsation also washes the teats.
