A METHOD OF COLLECTING MEASUREMENT DATA DURING AUTOMATICALLYMILKING AN ANIMAL

摘要

A method of collecting measurement data during automatically milking a dairy animal by means of a device provided with a milking box with a milking robot. The method comprises the step of determining the period between two successive milking runs of the dairy animal, the step of measuring a value of a variable in relation to the dairy animal, the step of issuing a measurement signal indicative of the measured value, and the step of admitting a dairy animal to the milking box in dependence on an admission criterion. The method comprises the step of repeatedly varying the admission criterion in such a manner that periods with different values are obtained.
