ADF
Also known as: '''''ADF'''''
Automatic Disinfection and Flushing (ADF) is a method of [[Post-Milking Teat Disinfection (PMTD)|post milking teat disinfection (PMTD)]] used in dairy cows for the control of contagious causes of mastitis. In addition to PMTD, the cluster is flushed between cows to further minimise the probability of infection being transferred between cows in the parlour. The flushing removes any milk residues within the liner that may be harbouring pathogens.
