Analysis of spectroscopic parameters to evaluate the efficiency of cleaning udders and teats indicated that manual cleaning mainly caused modifications of reflectivity of surfaces. The parameters red/green and yellow/blue were not useful to indicate cleaning efficiency at white surfaces, but a significant reduction of the level of “yellow” due to cleaning was observed at black surfaces.

The parameter red/green was most efficient to detect bloodstained surfaces. Blood was present when a certain limit was exceeded.

A more practical evaluation of visual cleanliness is to be expected by the use of appropriate machine vision systems.
