摘要:
The invention relates to a method of automatically milking animals, such as cows, in which the milk obtained from each udder quarter is discharged through separate milk lines to e.g. a collector element, such as a milk claw or a milk jar, and in which, when the milk flow originating from one or more udder quarters has fallen to below a threshold value (D1), the underpressure in the teat cup(s) connected to this/these udder quarter(s) is neutralized. Once mastitis has been detected in an udder quarter and after the milk flow originating therefrom, possibly combined with that from one or more other udder quarters, has fallen to below said threshold value (D1), the relevant animal is admitted a larger number of times per 24 hours to the area arranged for automatic milking than other animals.

The invention relates to a method of automatically milking animals with the aid of a construction including an implement for milking animals, such as cows, comprising a milking machine having one or more teat cups provided with a teat cup lining which separates the teat chamber from a chamber in the teat cup, in which an alternating underpressure can be applied, whereby, between the teat cup wall and the teat cup lining, a teat cup includes at least two mutually separated chambers, whilst an alternating underpressure can be applied in at least one of these chambers. Connecting of the teat cup proceeds in the following stages: in a first stage, in which a teat is partly sucked into the teat chamber; in a second stage, which is initiated when the teat has been sucked so far into the teat chamber that the pressure in the teat chamber decreases to a predetermined underpressure value, in which stage the teat chamber is shut off from the milk line connected thereto by that portion of the teat cup lining that limits the chamber located farthest from the open end; in a third stage, in which this shut-off is disabled, whereafter the teat can enter further into the teat chamber.

In a method of automatically milking animals which are allowed to visit individually a milking parlour comprising a milking robot and an animal identification system, an animal visiting the milking parlour is milked when since the previous milking of the relevant animal at least a specific number of milkings (Q) of other animals has taken place. On the basis of at least one animal parameter a milking number (x) is allotted to each animal, which milking number (x) indicates how often the relevant animal has to be milked per unit of time. The specific number of milkings (Q) for each animal is calculated as a function of the corresponding milking number (x). As a result of the fact that the threshold value of the milking criterion depends on an individual target number for the number of milkings of the relevant animal, a desired number of milkings per unit of time can be achieved for each animal.

The invention relates to a method of acoustically monitoring the course of a process, in which method the amplitude difference and/or the intensity value of sound are/is measured during the process, and the amplitudes and/or the intensity values of the sound and/or the vibrations are measured continuously or with an adjustable frequency by means of a sound and/or vibration sensor (4), such as a piezoelectric transducer (12), during the entire process or part of the process and are compared mutually and/or with a predetermined threshold value and/or reference value and/or reference pattern for the purpose of drawing, on the basis thereof, conclusions in relation to the progress and/or the course of the process and/or the presence of disturbances and/or deviations in the course of the process.
摘要:
A method of automated milking and/or treating of animals, which method comprises a number of steps for milking and/or treating the animals, such as cleaning the teats and/or foremilking and/or milking and/or stripping and/or disinfecting the teats, etc., in which there are at least two variants for at least one step and in which for the at least one step a variant is chosen at random, e.g. by means of a random generator, or periodically, said variant subsequently being carried out.
