    摘要: A milking apparatus (200) comprising:
    a liner (102) made from a resiliently deformable material, the liner extending along a longitudinal direction; and
    a rigid support shell (104), wherein the liner is mounted on the rigid support shell,
    wherein the liner comprises:
    an outer hood (103) configured to lie over an outer surface of the rigid support shell;
    an inner barrel (116) configured to be disposed within the rigid support shell and to define an internal volume of the liner, the inner barrel extending in the longitudinal direction away from an opening (106) at a first end of the liner, through which opening an animal teat is insertable into the internal volume,
    wherein the outer hood has a longitudinal length commensurate with a longitudinal length of the inner barrel,
    wherein an inner surface of the outer hood is exposed within the internal volume, and
    wherein the liner further comprises an auxiliary module (132) mounted on the outer hood, wherein the auxiliary module is configured to access the internal volume through the outer hood.
