Abstract
A milking equipment wash monitoring system and method that determine whether a wash cycle, in which washing occurs with a wash solution temperature above a set point for a preset wash duration, occurs within a wash-required timeframe. An indicator is provided to indicate whether the wash cycle has occurred within the wash-required timeframe. The system and method provide a mechanism by which adequate cleansing of milking equipment can be achieved on a regular basis.
