The most suitable method of milking is

A. Fisting (Full hand) method

B. Stripping method

C. Knuckling method

D. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The most suitable method of milking is Fisting (Full hand) method.
Milking is done either by stripping or by full hand method. Grasping the teat with all the five fingers and pressing it against the palm does fisting or full hand milking.
The teat is compressed and relaxed alternatively in quick succession, thus the method removes milk much quicker than stripping as there is no loss of time in changing the position of the hand. Further full hand method is superior to stripping as it stimulates the natural suckling process by calf and the method exerts equal pressure on the large teats of cows and buffaloes.
