Milking machine installations--VocabularyPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org ASAE ANSI/ASABE AD3918:2007 (R2020) January 2011Keywords: Dairy, Milking, Terminology 0 Forward 0.1 ANSI/ASABE AD3918:2007, Milking machine installations--Vocabulary, is an adoption with deviations of the identically titled ISO document ISO 3918:2007, Milking machine installations--Vocabulary. Deviations noted in the following Forward sections pertain to those provisions where harmonization could not be achieved between ASABE and the International Standard. 0.2 ANSI/ASABE AD3918:2007 defines terms to use in research work, official regulations, design, manufacture, installation and use of milking machines for cows, water buffaloes, sheep, goats or other mammals used for milk production. This scope is identical to the scope of ISO 3918:2007 except for: 0.2.1 The term ‘cow’ in this document generally is referring to female dairy cattle; however, for simplicity in not needing to list all female dairy animals (doe, ewe, etc.) it is sometimes used to refer to female dairy animals in general. 0.3 There are no Normative References listed in ISO 3918:2007, Milking machine installations--Vocabulary. 0.4 This standard has been submitted as an American National standard to ANSI (American National Standards Institute).
