An arrangement for milking animals is proposed with which milking is conducted separately for each udder quarter. The arrangement includes teat cups (1-4), each with a conduit (11-14) for transporting milk away from said teat cups under application of a vacuum. A flow meter is coupled to each conduit for measuring the milk flow produced by each udder quarter and a vacuum regulator (6) is also coupled to each conduit for varying the vacuum applied to each teat cups separately. A control unit (12) is provided for controlling the application of a vacuum to any one teat cup by the regulator in response to an increase in sensed flow rate from the same teat cup, and to reduce the vacuum applied to any one teat cup in response to a decrease in sensed flow rate from that same teat cup. |
