An assembly for and a method of feeding and milking animals, and a feed platform suitable for use in such an assembly

摘要

An assembly for feeding and milking animals is disclosed. The assembly includes a moveable feed platform 151 on which a number of feeding places are provided and a milking system for, in particular automatically, milking the animals on the feed platform. The feed platform is for the greater part free from confining means for confining the animals while feeding or being milked. By not confining the animals a higher feed consumption and milk production result, along with a more animal-friendly milking process.
