This invention improves milking units (20) for cattle in order to give better milking results and to facilitate application of the milking unit (20) to the udder of the animal. To this end the teat cups (26) have an upwardly widening upper part (31), so that the teat cups (26) also engage the lower part of the udder right above and around each teat. Moreover, the teat cups (26) are supported, preferably flexibly, in a common supporting structure (4) so as to be substantially horizontally movable therein, to be easily adjusted to the relative positions of the teats in a particular animal. The teat cups (26) may have operating means (17, 19) to move them to the correct postions under control of means comprising a memory for storing data about such positions for a particular animal and a processor programmed so as to move the cups (26) into the correct positions. |
