A construction for automatically milking animals

摘要

The invention relates to a construction for automatically milking animals such as cows, provided with one or a number of rest boxes of which at least one is laid out as a milk box (2) equipped with a milking robot (19). Furthermore there is provided a computer system (25) for controlling the milking robot (19) and for automatically milking the animals. According to the invention a rest box is provided with weighing means (29) with the aid of which it is possible to determine any change in weight of an animal or of an animal's udder as compared with that which was determined the preceding time that the animal entered the rest box, with the animal being admitted to be milked by the computer-controlled milking robot when this change in weight is such an increase in weight that an appropriate yield of milk is to be expected. <IMAGE>
