<p>A method relates to managing a group of dairy animals to be milked fully automatically, which dairy animals go through a lactation cycle. The method comprises the following steps: dividing the group of dairy animals into subgroups of a plurality of dairy animals, determining per subgroup an insemination period within which the dairy animals of the subgroup concerned are inseminated, which insemination period is so short that substantially all dairy animals in the subgroup concerned go simultaneously through the lactation cycle, separating the pregnant dairy animals of at least one of the subgroups in a separate area, around the beginning of the being dry phase of the subgroup concerned, fully automatically milking the dairy animals in the non-separated subgroups by means of at least one milking robot, separately milking the dairy animals in the separated subgroup, and placing the separated subgroup out of the separate area after being dry and calving.</p> |
