METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING THE MILKING BY A MILKING MACHINE

摘要

A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine comprises, during an initial phase of the milking, increasing a milking vacuum and/or a maximum pulsation vacuum for the milking gradually from a first selected vacuum level (IL) towards a second selected vacuum level (2L) to thereby improve teat stimulation and decreasing the risk of a second milk letdown. If a second milk letdown (2ML) is detected, the maximum pulsation vacuum is preferably immediately lowered to a third selected vacuum level (3L), is kept at that vacuum level until a certain milk flow has been established, and is then again increased gradually until the second selected vacuum level is reached.
