The invention refers to a milking device and a method of handling a milking device. The milking device includes a milk-transporting member ( 1 ) having at least one teatcup ( 2 ) and arranged to transport milk from a teat of an animal to a milk-collecting member ( 4 ) during a milking state. A low pressure is connected to the milk-transporting member ( 1 ) for sucking the milk from the teat to the milk collecting member. A gas conduit ( 11 ) permits the introduction of a gas into the milk-transporting member. The gas conduit has a first end ( 12 ), which is a gas inlet member ( 15 ). The gas conduit has a second end connectable to a relatively low pressure for permitting a flow of a cleaning fluid from the milk-transporting member through the gas conduit during a cleaning state.
