An assembly for managing a herd of animals moving about freely. The assembly is provided with an animal receiving area (2) surrounded by an enclosure (12). The enclosure is provided with a gate (10). A milking station (13) is arranged in the surrounded area and has a milking device for detecting whether an animal has been milked and for emitting a milking signal. An animal recognition system determines the identity of an animal and emits an animal recognition signal. A control unit (11) controls the functioning of the gate with the aid of the animal recognition signal. The control unit is suitable for opening the gate, in order that an animal can leave the surrounded area only when the milking signal indicates that the animal has been milked.
摘要:
A milking device for milking animals provided with a frame (8) and a milking robot (2), which milking robot comprises an arm for connecting a teat cup (3) to a teat of the animal and a displaceable image sensor (4,6) with a viewing direction for taking an image, the image sensor being connected to an image analysis device (7). The milking device comprises a sight (3) within the detection range of the imagesensor. The image sensor is displaceable from a first to a second position, the displacement having a component transverse to the viewing direction, the image analysis device being suitable for determining, on the basis of the image, an image distance between the image of the sight (3) and the image of the teat and for emitting an image distance signal representative of the image distance, the device comprising a position meter for determining the actual position of the teat relative to the frame (8) on the basis of two image distance signals emitted from the first position, respectively the second position, and on the basis of the first and the second position.
摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Messeinrichtung zur Messung von Eigenschaften eines Messgutes, insbesondere des Feuchtegehaltes von landwirtschaftlichen Erntegütern wie Heu, Stroh oder Anwelksilage mit einem Feuchte-Sensorelement (22, 49, 54, 62, 65) und wenigstens einem weiteren Sensorelement zur Erfassung anderer Materialeigenschaften. Zur Verbesserung der Messeinrichtung wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass das weitere Sensorelement (23, 50, 58, 64, 66) zum Messen der von dem Messgut auf das Feuchte-Sensorelement (22, 49, 54, 62, 65) ausgeübten Anpresskraft oder einer dieser Anpresskraft entsprechenden Kraft an einer anderen Messstelle geeignet ist. Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Messverfahren ergeben sich durch gleichzeitiges Messen von Feuchterohwert Qr und Anpresskraft F Wertepaare, aus denen sich tatsächliche Feuchtewerte Q mit hoher Genauigkeit mittels einer Kalibrierfläche (47) auf messtechnisch einfache Weise ableiten lassen.
摘要:
A device for supplying an amount of feed to animals. The device being provided with an animal identification device (16, 17) for identifying an animal, a computer (21) with a memory (20), the memory (20) containing consumption related data of the animals, the computer (21) generating a signal for supplying an amount of feed to a relevant animal with the aid of data from the animal identification device (16, 17) and data from the memory (20), and a device (14) for supplying feed controlled by the computer (21). The data from the memory (20) contain per animal data in relation to the feed intake in dependence of the temperature of the feed. The device (14) for supplying feed supplies to the animal an amount of feed having the corresponding temperature with the aid of data from the animal identification device (16, 17) and the relevant data from the memory (20).
摘要:
An implement for demarcating an area, in particular for restricting the freedom of movement of animals walking about freely, is provided with a demarcation element (10) which is capable of being wound and unwound and being tightened. To said implement there is connected at least one vehicle (1, 1', 1 "), which is suitable for bringing an end of a straight, tightened section (12) of the demarcation element (10) into a desired position. The other end of the straight, tightened section (12) can be positioned with the aid of a further vehicle (1, 1', 1") or by means of a fixed reference point (18). The implement is compact and yet extremely flexible. Said vehicle (1, 1', 1") being provided with angle measuring means (14) for determining the angle between a reference direction (19) of the vehicle (1, 1', 1") and the direction of the substantially straight extending section(s) (12) of the demarcation element (10).
摘要:
A method of milking an animal, in which method a movable milking platform is used. The method comprises the following steps: setting the movable milking platform in motion, allowing an animal access to the milking platform, supplying a sort of feed to an animal on the milking platform, subsequently allowing the animal exit from the milking platform, and milking the animal on the milking platform during a milking period. The method further comprises the step of providing the animal a span of time on the milking platform in which the animal is not milked, the span of time having a magnitude that amounts to at least approximately half the milking period. The speed of movement of the milking platform being selected at least partially on the basis of a feed consumption duration of an animal present on the milking platform, such that the span of time has such a magnitude that an animal is provided a sufficient time to substantially complete its feed consumption during their stay on the platform, said span of time being smaller than 75 minutes.
