Abstract Background Animal-derived allergens include lipocalins which play an increasing role in occupational respiratory sensitizations. The prevention of sensitization in stock farming is often difficult due to intense exposure with traditional milking still requiring close animal contact.

Case presentation In a 37-year-old female farmer daily asthmatic complaints appeared associated with cow dust-derived allergen exposure by milking with a conventional device.
