Abstract: In order to measure a milk flow, a device is proposed that has a channel that has an inlet and an outlet. At least two electrically conducting element are provided in the channel that are arranged at a distance from one another. At least one element has an essentially annular form. Furthermore, at least one element has an essentially pin-shaped form. With the aid of this design according to the invention of a device for the measurement of a milk stream, a relatively simple construction is achieved, which has a relatively high measuring accuracy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a component of a milking machine, particularly of a milking machine having at least one teat cup and a milking collecting piece, with a housing. The inventive component comprises at least one activating unit by means of which at least one activating signal is provided.

Abstract: Teat cup (30) and method for bringing a fluid into contact with a teat, the teat cup (30) exhibiting a housing and a teat-cup liner (32) arranged in the housing (31), said teat-cup liner separating a teat chamber from a pulsation chamber and exhibiting a head region (33), a shaft region and an end region which communicates with a milk hose. A valve is provided, with which a fluidic connection from the teat chamber to a milk hose is capable of being tightly closed. The head region (33) exhibits at least one exit region (34) which is so designed that a fluid, in particular a disinfectant, leaving the exit region (34) is directed, at least partially, radially inwards.
