Three teats, fourth teat present or actually not?

Do we still need to properly configure whether the fourth teat is present or not on the VMS V300?

With the VMS Classic, we know that this is very important.

Whether you have entered “present or not present” for a three-teat cow: the VMS V300 has no trouble attaching her.

However, if the fourth teat is set to “present,” after milking it wants to disinfect all teats marked as present …

And if that teat is (almost) completely gone, it doesn’t see it and, after some searching, starts spraying “blindly” and making a circle. In doing so, the camera arm sometimes touches the leg, and the cow doesn’t like that at all. And neither will you, because it uses more disinfectant and doesn’t even land on the teats as precisely as you are used to…

So with the V300, for the three teats as well, make sure to correctly enter whether the fourth teat is actually present or not (anymore).

And of course: check occasionally if the spray is landing properly on the tip of the teat!
A little clogged and it sprays next to the teats….
