Milking should be completed within _____ minutes.

Correct option is A

✅ Ideal Time for Milking:

This is the optimum time to ensure:
Complete milk letdown (due to oxytocin hormone action).
Minimal stress to the animal.
Avoidance of residual milk which can lead to mastitis.
⛔ Risks of Delayed Milking:
Reduced milk yield
Teat injury due to prolonged milking
Increased bacterial contamination
