摘要:
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.
