A method for controlling the milking by a milking machine comprises the steps of: (i) providing ( 41 ) different milking schemes, each of which being distinguished by a set of milking parameters, such as milking vacuum, high pulse vacuum, low pulse vacuum, pulse rate, and pulse length; (ii) controlling ( 43 ) the milking machine for the milking of a milking animal so that each of the different milking schemes is applied for at least one milking of the milking animal; (iii) for each of the milkings, recording ( 45 ) milk yield and/or milking time of the milking of the animal; (iv) evaluating ( 51 ) each of the milking schemes for milking the animal based on the recorded milk yield and/or milking time; and (v) selecting ( 53 ) one of the milking schemes based on the evaluation, and controlling ( 53 ) the milking machine during subsequent milkings of the animal so that they are performed according to the selected milking scheme. |
