Abstract:
The invention refers to a method and a device for performing an animal related action on an animal. The device comprises a machine arranged to permit milking of the animal according to a process being determined by a number of adjustable parameters defining the nature of the process. The value of a variable related to one or more animals is determined for said animal by determining means. The animal related action is performed on the animal during a current animal related action by means of the machine, wherein at least one of said parameters is adjusted in response to said determined value by control means.
