A MILKING PLANT

摘要

The invention refers to a milking plant comprising a milking member (1) to be attached to a teat of an animal to be milked during a milking operation. A milk container (3) is connected to the milking member and adapted to collect the milk extracted during the milking operation. A milk pump (7), being a part of a milk transport conduit (5), defines a suction side and a pressure side. A milk tank (8) is connected to the milk container via the milk transport conduit and adapted to collect the milk from the milk container. A milk sample discharge device (30) is connected to the milk transport conduit at the pressure side. The milk pump is adapted to transport during a milk transport operation the milk extracted during the milking operation from the milk container in a major flow to the milk tank and in a minor flow via the milk discharge device. The milking plant is arranged to initiate the transport operation at the end of the milking operation. The milk pump comprises a centrifugal pump.
