data were collected from three agricultural enterprises. There were 29 milkers in our trials and their working time observations were carried out one day after control-milking. It was an operational observation of milkersworking during which each element of the working process was registered. Correlation analysis was made to find out by continual factors the cow's preparing for milking, delaying in applying the milking unit to the cow, machine stripping, over-milking and how these factors affect somatic cell count in milk. In our trials the dairy cow groups were large, more than 50 cows milked by one milker. The purpose of the trials was to clear up the quality of milkers' work and to find connections between the mistakes made during milking. How the milking routine affects the milk yield, milk quality and udder health
