It describes the purpose of flowcharts as a clear, step-by-step decision tool for workers, and gives accepted symbols for starting/ending points, actions, record entries, directional arrows, and decision diamonds. It then provides a sample operating procedure flow for dealing with cows showing abnormal milk, including testing for mastitis, sample collection, classification of abnormal appearance, treatment steps, and recordkeeping requirements.",{"@graph":63,"@context":110},[64,80,101],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":11,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/presentations/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/sop-flowcharts-for-abnormal-milk-handling-parlor-sop-5/244290/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/sop-flowcharts-for-abnormal-milk-handling-parlor-sop-5/244290.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Mia  ","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-09-12",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":8},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",{"@type":102,"mainEntity":103},"FAQPage",[104],{"name":105,"@type":106,"acceptedAnswer":107},"What steps should be followed in the sample SOP for cows with abnormal milk?","Question",{"text":108,"@type":109},"The procedure includes detecting abnormal milk, performing a CMT test on all four quarters, collecting sterile samples from affected quarters and storing them in a refrigerator, deciding based on whether milk is bloody or watery and whether mastitis is present, then recording required details and following the appropriate treatment or normal milking path.","Answer","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":112,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":114,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":116,"site_id":56},244290,1791741461,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":119},{"doc_id":116,"user_id":120,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":121,"doc_module":9,"category_id":8,"category_name":11,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":122,"file_id":123,"file_url":124,"file_type":125,"file_size":126,"view_count":8,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":9,"language":127,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":128,"faqs":129,"seo_title":130,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":131,"read_time":4},687207024478,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_a8503ba1806abce46bf441b54a3ca4cd","Flowcharts  \nNotice that Step 3 in Figure 4 refers to another SOP, called“Cows With Abnormal Milk.” This SOP is likely to require many decisions to determine what is wrong with the milk, ifa sample should be taken, whether the cow should be treated, etc. Procedures that require many decisions should be presented as a flowchart.  \nFlowcharts are simply a graphic way to present the logical steps in a decision-making process. While normal milking procedures are quite straightforward and repetitive, deciding what to do about a cow with abnormal milk certainly is not. Many different factors such as mastitis or an injury may cause the abnormal milk. The appropriate response to each situation may be dramatically different. A flowchart provides an easy-to-follow mechanism for walking a worker through a series of logical decisions and the steps that should be taken as a result.  \nFigure 6 is a flowchart depicting how milkers should deal with cows showing abnormal milk. Note that the procedure begins in the top left-hand corner and proceeds generally to the right and downward, depending on which decisions are made. You should use the generally accepted symbols for flowcharts, which are as follows:  \nA flattened oval represents a starting or ending point.  \nA rectangle indicates the worker should perform an action of some sort.  \nUnlabeled arrows between other symbols indicate the direction offlow.  \nDiamonds are the accepted symbol for a decision point. They must have two or more arrows leading away from them toward alternatives.  \nDecision arrows lead away from a diamond and toward an appropriate action or  \nfollow-up decision. At least two alternatives must lead from each decision diamond. Many times they will be yes and no, but they also could involve three or more choices. For example, after taking a temperature, you might have several options to follow, depending on the results.  \nA rectangle with a ragged bottom edge indicates that a record or notation should be written down. You might use this in an SOP to record how much cows were fed, or to note when ajob is completed.  \nRegardless of the SOP format that you choose to use, there are a few elements of information that should be included  \nFIGURE 6. SAMPLE FLOW CHART OPERATING PROCEDURE FORMAT.  \nClarity Farms Parlor SOP \\#5, Cows With Abnormal Milk Effective Date: February 27, 2001  \nDeveloped by Parlor Staff  \nAbnormal milk detected.  \nPerform CMT test for mastitis on all four quarters.  \nCollect sterile samples from affected quarters, label, and store in refrigerator.  \nDoes milk appear bloody or watery?  \nIs mastitis present?  \nOn milker report, record date, time, cow ID, affected quarter(s), and severity.  \nYes  \nNo  \nYes  \nIs udder swollen?  \nInject 1 cc Oxytocin to the front shoulder.  \nYes  \nNo  \nDivert cow to treatment holding pen when side is released.  \nMilk cow according to normal milking procedure and release as usual.  \nwith every SOP. These include a clear and descriptive title; the name of the author or person responsible for the SOP; and the date on which the SOP or revision becomes effective. Businesses that use many SOPs should adopt a logical numbering scheme for filing and to keep track of revisions. In addition, some SOPs should include lists of materials or tools needed to complete the job. All SOPs that involve hazardous working conditions should include a list of safety precautions.","cbCaitXP2H7YmzfG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitXP2H7YmzfG","pdf",50270,"English","# Flowcharts\n## When to Use Flowcharts in SOPs\n## Common Flowchart Symbols\n## Sample SOP Flowchart: Abnormal Milk Handling","[{\"question\":\"What steps should be followed in the sample SOP for cows with abnormal milk?\",\"answer\":\"The procedure includes detecting abnormal milk, performing a CMT test on all four quarters, collecting sterile samples from affected quarters and storing them in a refrigerator, deciding based on whether milk is bloody or watery and whether mastitis is present, then recording required details and following the appropriate treatment or normal milking path.\"}]","SOP Flowcharts for Abnormal Milk Handling - Parlor SOP 5 | PDF",1789215186]
