METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR CONTROLLING THE MILKING BY A MILKING MACHINE

摘要

A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine is provided. According to the method a flow rate (F?1#191, F?2#191) of milk drawn from a milking animal is measured (34) at least two times, one after the other, at a latter part of the milking of the milking animal. A decrease rate (?F/?t) of the flow rate of milk drawn from the milking animal is calculated (35) based on the measured flow rates and a milking of the milking animal is terminated (39) based on the calculated decrease rate of the flow rate of milk drawn from the milking animal, and optionally based on at least one of the measured flow rates.
