Abstract
The use of electric milking devices is used in several developing countries. It is expensive, high maintenance, and has high electric consumption. Small-scale farmers cannot accommodate these variables. Therefore, the researchers design a human-powered vacuum system for Milking Carabaos and Cows, which the farmers can utilize. This research intends to fill the market gap between the electric milking device and the traditional hand milking technique. Moreover, to yield more milk in a short period compared to hand milking. The system showed a slight difference concerning the milk output volume compared to using an electric milking device under the working pressure of 40-50 kPa. Comparisons between the designed prototype and different milking processes were tested, and therefore, the objectives of this study were attained.
