Figure 1.
Examples of (A) type 1 (very low milk flow and long milking time), (B) type 2 (very long and continuous decreasing phase time), (C) type 3 (similar time between plateau and decreasing phase), (D) type 4 (“triangular shape,” high prevalence of bimodal curves), (E) type 5 (“rectangular shape,” predominant plateau phase), (F) type 6 (predominant plateau phase and discontinuous decreasing phase), (G) type 7 (double-profile and evident disturbance of milk ejection during milking), and (H) type 8 (very long increase phase) milk flow curve.
